If iFixit starts selling steamdeck motherboards, can you buy just a motherboard and make a console-only version? Same motherboard, just no screen, battery, buttons.

And a SSD I guess.

Alternative question: Do you want steam to offer a console only version? Same motherboard, just no screen or battery.

  Steamdeck is already cheap. Take out the price of the display, battery, and all the buttons and it’s even cheaper.
