iFixit tears down Steam Frame, confirms spare parts incoming
iFixit published its teardown of the Valve Steam Frame, praising the thoughtful, repair-friendly design that comes apart with screws and snaps. The main complaint is the battery, which is glued to the housing, and the fan/heatsink module that isn't individually serviceable. iFixit confirmed it will sell Steam Frame spares and publish repair guides.
