Reply to comment by Hey_look_new in Framework now sells 2TB Steam Deck upgrade drives. by SUPRVLLAN

Interesting, so it's like the old Motorola Atrix thing (if I'm recalling correctly) where it's a empty/dummy laptop until you attach it to a phone?

yes, exactly like the motorola Atrix/Bionic lapdocks

single USB-C cable between lapdock and phone/steam deck/laptop/ps5/switch/etc

Nexdock makes a few different versions, as does UPERFECT.

they're a perfect complement to the steam deck

Interesting. Separate power I'd assume. Do me a favor? Stop tempting me to spend more money, would ya? ha ha

most lapdocks have a battery built in. they won't charge the steam deck very well tho

the nexpad tho (the screen at the top in the pic) doesn't have a battery at all, so does full pass thru power to the steam deck....

so deck charger into nexpad, usb-c to usb-c from nexpad to steam deck, and you're off to the races

what I've got pictured tho is nexpad + nexpad360 wireless

so I'm using a GaN charger (100w) with USB power to the nexpad (and onto the steam deck) and then another USB lead to the nexdock360w

then steam deck then connects to the nexdock360w wirelessly, with miracast for video, and bluetooth for the keyboard/trackpad/touchscreen

it's a really decent experience, tbh
