It is a bigger, don’t have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.
But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.

Valve’s logic (as shown in the Steam Machine overview video) is that you use the integrated puck for the actual connection and then you can use the puck that comes with the controller anywhere to charge the controller (such as by your couch). The standalone puck then just needs power since it’s not handling any communication.
