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?
When we did the one-time randomization of the list, your place in line ended up beyond the number of units we’ll have in this production run.
😕
Didn’t get picked for the lottery, but i did look into hardware more specially for what I need that can get away with older tech for cheaper and still cover what I need
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.
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 like twice as fast, 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
I just got the email last night to purchase and it’s a bad time some I’m going to have to pass and try again later. Very disappointed, oh well, such is life
Got the email to purchase mine (2TB no controller, but I managed to get a controller when they first came out so not too disappointed I didn’t get the bundle) last Wednesday, it shipped the following day and should be arriving on Monday. I actually have the day off too so I’m looking forward to spending a good amount of the day testing it out when it arrives.
Got my mail to buy the 2TB with controller yesterday but after some thought I am going to undo my reservation. I just can’t justify the price of this thing. I have a pretty beefy computer upstairs and would probably get really annoyed by the lack of performance in comparison. I will probably go for a mini pc (with steam controller) and stream my games instead.
Btw, if you enlisted on more than one model, your option to buy will only be for the most beefed up one. I enlisted for 512GB and 2TB, but can only buy the 2TB and the 512GB spot is gone.
Good luck with your reservations, hope you all enjoy your steam machines.
That's not true. If you reserved for multiple models, then you were rolled randomly in each. Whichever model you rolled best on is the model you can buy.
Ah I read that wrong then. But the end result is the same for me at least. My 512GB reservation request was removed when my 2TB queue spot was granted.
Still waiting on my second email to be able to buy the thing. I got the first email saying I’m in the reservation queue, but I have no idea how quickly they are moving through said queue.
Same. Got a reservation mail for the 2TB with controller and still waiting. I’m located in Sweden.
My reservation is for the 512GB with controller. I’m in the US. I signed up for all four options when it first went live.
Paid for mine on Friday and it’s all packaged up, waiting to be picked up by the courier, presumably tonorrow on Monday morning. UK buyer and it seems to be coming from the Netherlands. I’m going away for a week starting on Friday so fingers crossed that the 3-5 working days lands on the lower side

Not yet! But I’m not in a hurry and if I’m nearer to the end of the year, that’s fine by me.
