Is the anti-glare screen worth it?

Does the eMMC version allow installing an NVMe drive?

The price difference between the 256GB NVMe version and the 512GB version is more than the cost of a 1TB NVMe drive.

Edit: Ah wait, just realised it's the stubby 2230 NVMe drives, the ones that are much more rare and like half the length of the long boyes.

Still, the storage is annoying. The difference betwee PCIe 3.0 and PCIe 4.0 is massive, and there's been another leap with PCIe 5.0.

Yes, the only hardware difference between the different version is really only the screen and the drive it comes with. You can technically buy the 64GB version and replace the screen with an anti-glare one at a later date, as it can be bought as a spare part for not much.

Personally I got the 64GB some time ago and am still happy enough with just an SD-card with good speed and decent size. I suspect that will change down the line, but right now I'm happy.

Oh and the carrying/storage case it comes with seems to be different for the 512GB version. Not sure about the 256GB version though.
