Managed to reserve one!

Congrats! I'll probably get one at some point next year, waiting to see some post-launch tests first, like:

• How well will it run high end 9th gen games? Can it run them on low settings at 720p, or are the specs still not enough for that?
• How will performance on games compare on Steam OS and Windows?
• Is the SD card slot really limited to UHS-I speed (104 MB/s) or can it use higher end UHS-II or UHS-III SD cards without capping their speed? 

I'm also hoping to see Microsoft make a Native Xbox app for it, so that you can not only stream xCloud games without using the web browser, but also wi-fi stream games from your Xbox Series to your Steam Deck, cutting out the latency issues of streaming those same games from the nearest xCloud data center. 

Thanks and yea, this is more or less a beta test product as Valve has never made anything like this before. So if it is successful, I am sure the second iteration will be significantly improved in every area.

The reason I am happy buying something like this is because it's a pc. So even if it's not successful and never gets a second iteration, I can still play all my hentai games on it on the go.
