You can just buy an aftermarket anti-glare screen. They are cheap.

You can change the SSD by yourself but you'll lose waranty. There's a noticeable speed difference between the eMMC and NVMe versions. There's no noticeable speed difference between the NVMe versions.

IMHO if can afford it and have a few technical skills buy the little one and install one of these. You might even want to wrap it in one these (there's a real leather option too) or these or replace the joysticks with these (can't get drift and have a much smaller deadzone).

Any of those said aftermarket screens you could recommend?

Agree on the NVMe bit, only reason why I took the 256GB intermediate aside from the fact that extra space gave me some breathing room off the bat

I can snag a better NVMe on sale down the road

Great tips all round, will be snagging those sticks you shared
