This is a cross-post from the handhelds forum, because (to my mind) it might make more sense being posted here. Please let me know if this is not allowed and I'll lock the thread.

Item: Valve Steam Deck 64GB (more details below)
Age: +-1 year
Price: Looking to potentially trade (details below)
Payment Method Accepted: N/A
Warranty: Nope
Warranty Holder: N/A
Packaging: I have the original case that the Deck came in new.

More details:

- Deck has been upgraded with a 512gb SSD, and I've purchased a Samsung class 3 512GB Micro SD card which is installed in the Deck.
- I've replaced the original Huaying fan with the quieter Delta fan.
- Other than that, the Deck is like new. Never been dropped, never been used outside of a case.
- I would include the following accessories in the trade: JSAUX ModCase, JSAUX carry case/bag (stores the Deck and protects it quite nicely, even with the Deck in the ModCase (though not with the front shell on it)); JSAUX matte tempered glass screen protector.
- All original parts would be included, specifically the 64GB NVME drive and the Delta fan.
- All original screws in the backplate are intact (and have not been stripped, although Valve used screws with the structural rigidity of cheese).

I am looking to trade the Deck for a gaming laptop. Why? Well, the Deck replaced my desktop which I have previously sold on Carb, which worked out fine because I was able to use my work laptop for everything that I could not do on the Deck. I love my Steam Deck, but it has certain inherent limitations, like the fact that one cannot install printer drivers at an OS level. Most importantly though, is that I do not really use the Deck except in a docked state, so the portability is lost on me.

Item Wanted: A gaming oriented laptop (not necessarily a gaming laptop). I'm looking for something with an i5 processor or Ryzen 5; preferably 16GB DDR4 RAM and preferably an Nvidia RTX3060 6GB/RTX3050. A Thunderbolt 4 port would be nice too but not essential.
Packaging: Would be nice but not strictly necessary.
Desired Age: +- 1 year
Location: Sundowner, Randburg, Gauteng
Willing to accept a shipped item: Yes
Ballpark/Budget Amount: N/A
