Oh, they're in stock again? €780 is a lot of money, but I might still go for it. Is "premium anti-glare etched glass" worth the upgrade to the 1TB model? I don't think I'll miss the storage upgrade or the "exclusive startup movie", but the screen is very important to me. I just don't know what the upgrade means.
It’s a matter of preference. The etched glass screen is slightly hazier and seems to have slightly less color saturation, but is better if you’re playing in an environment without controlled lighting.
I bought the 512 GB glossy and the screen is fantastic IMO. I ended up upgrading to 1 TB essentially by accident, as a mini-PC I purchased for server use came with a 1 TB 2230 NVMe but I was swapping the storage from a server that had a hardware failure, so basically free upgrade.

So the frame is either gonna be two grand or just cancelled I guess lmao.
How could steam do this to gabe?
Man, I upgraded my 64gb base model to a 2tb drive years ago & it's still going strong. An upgrade wasn't really on the radar, but now it's definitely not going to happen!
Buy the cheapest one and then price out SSDs for upgrading the storage.
It’s super easy, undo some screws, pop the back, unscrew SSD, move the EMF shield to the new one, pop it in and then reverse the process.
Easy peasy.
You skipped downloading and installing a recovery ISO, but close enough.
