A 512GB and 2 TB version for the Machine, 6 times the steam deck, it all sounds good. Just don't like the controller 

Can't tell the HW is powerfull? How does it compare? to series x and PS5 pro?

Edit: Keep forgetting that RX 6000 series is RDNA 2 not 3. Steam Machine GPU might be closer to on par with ps5 than I said previously.

CPU should be a fair bit better though with Zen 4 and much higher clocks, even if it has less threads.

As an owner of the original steam controller... I also don't like the look of the new controller, but any USB controller will work with the steam machine so not really an issue.
