| Pros | Cons | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| More convenient than always sitting down in front of a PC, which has led to me actually making a dent in my steam backlog | Playing modern 3D games really burns through the battery life (an Unreal 5 game on high settings means only about an hour of battery) | ||
| Also works well docked, if you buy a dock for it, and some nice third party docks are only about 40 USD | A bit too heavy to comfortably hold for an extended period, maybe twice the weight of a switch, and possibly too chunky for small hands | ||
| Extremely customizable controls and lots of buttons, with touchpads that are a great substitute for mouse and a great tactile experience | Quite a premium charged if you want a reasonable amount of storage (800 USD for the model with half a terabyte) | ||
| Easy pairing out of the box with external mice, keyboards, and controllers, including switch pro controllers | Onscreen keyboard covers half the screen and is just awful to use |
