Somebody actually bought that $3,000 Steam Deck prototype off eBay, then they let a YouTuber crack it open to see what's inside
Tech YouTuber Bringus Studios has published a 36-minute video analyzing, testing, and disassembling the prototype Steam Deck that sold on eBay in April. Bringus' analysis shows it to be a much less powerful device than what we ultimately got, but surprisingly close to the retail unit in terms of layout.
Though Bringus Studios published the teardown and performance assessment, fellow video-maker SadlyItsBradley was the device's deep-pocketed purchaser, lending it to Bringus for the video.
