how is that modular? it's all one piece except for the controller. congratulations, you have a console.

You can replace the main board, screen, etc all separately. So if you want an upgraded processor, you can buy a main board and be on your way.

It's not modular in the sense that you can plug random stuff together, it's modular in the sense that you can replace each piece independently.

You can also swap the RAM and SSD

eh, then any pc is modular.

Yes, they are. This is just a PC in a handheld form factor. I would say that Steam Deck isn't modular since the only pieces that can realistically be upgraded are the SSD and analog sticks. But this allows motherboard, screen, RAM, and controllers.
