I have been checking the Steam Machine subreddit the last couple of days and seen that a handful on people over there has been getting theirs now.

So, Lemmings: have you gotten yours yet? And what’s your first impressions?

I just want to know how/if it out-performs the steam deck in docked mode.

I've been using that in my living room for the better part of two years and it's been great aside from some AAA games.

Got any particular games you'd like tested? I got mine in yesterday, and I've got a pretty big library of games to throw at it.

I'd love to see how Expedition 33 performs. The deck was fine if graphics were turned waaaaay down, but I'd love a couch experience with nice visuals.

Nice. I already have that one. I'll check it out in a few resolution-settings configurations later tonight.

It has beefier internals and is running the same software so it will easily outperform it. Whether it will be enough to bridge the gap for the AAA games to meet personal preferences is a good question.

I think the CPU should be at least 50% faster, and the GPU more than that. I believe they said the GPU was up to six times as fast, but I feel like the "up to" might be doing some heavy lifting in that statement
