The only thing I'd like to know, if the CPU/GPU will be replaceable? The specs say "Semi-custom AMD Zen 4" and "Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3", but I don't see "soldered" anywhere, so I guess maybe they'll be switchable? If not with off-the-shelves components, maybe Valve will offer their own upgrade kits in the future?

Soldered, not upgradable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWUxObt1efQ&t=591s

Shame, but makes sense. Thanks for finding it out for us!

You happen to know if the same is true for the RAM? Video seems to mention soldered CPU and GPU only, I skimmed the video but didn't see it mentioned.

I'm seeing conflicting info on the RAM. Some are saying its soldered, others are saying its replaceable.

It might be because the gpu ram is soldered but the cpu ram is replaceable?
