"Hot-swappable" is above and beyond replaceable. To me hot-swappable sounds like you'll be able to swap the battery pack without turning off the device, which seems like it would require the device to have another power source to cover the changeover.

Eh, rumors are the battery life will be low for the Frame. So, this addresses that.

Considering the Steam Deck has an easily replaceable battery this might just be an increased design complexity for hot swapping = more cost, so they made it "enthusiast" tier to have separate pricing.

It's a great feature either way though, I'd use it for sure.

the battery part of the steam frame is already swappable, just not hot swappable.

Finally, sword art online.

If you die in the Frame, you die in real life.

Its so everyone that was excited to have one doesnt suffer through life long depression once they announce the price due to all this AI hardware supply issues.

If you die in game, You become ~~ a child in India~~ a Youth in Asia

It's reverse Isekai
