I had one reserved, but didn't end up getting it. It's a PC, I have plenty of those. I would have regretted it.
Damn tho... the few times a year I go on vacation I would have been loving it. I already have a portable-ish PC with a 1070ti, but it's a pain to transport a monitor and all the peripherals.
Love it. I don't play the latest games on it though. I think the most recent game I have installed is from 2015. I mostly use it as a retro gaming handheld.
Good topic because I questions this at times. I want to say love it, which I do love the tech, though absolutely find myself using it a TON less than I thought and I travel across the country almost weekly. It's size and feel contribute to this, I find myself just using Switch and playing something I'm not as into just for the extra battery life, less weight and easier portability.
One thing I will say though is I'm playing a ton of Steam games I'd probably never launch on it, things good for portable play, quick pick up and plays. So that's a huge plus.
@Yama: I don't have one, but kinda feel the same way you do. Love the idea of the Steam Deck, but it's just too big and doesn't have the battery life it needs. This is why I am not in a big hurry to see a Switch 2. The longer Nintendo waits, the easier it will be to get a good balance on size, battery, and power.
If Switch was my primary console, I could see how it would be frustrating missing the big AAA 3rd party games. But as a secondary console for travel and family gaming, Nintendo 1st party stuff rounded out with some interesting indie and retro games, it's great.
