That's a big claim when the Steam Deck exists
Yeah, Steam Deck costs a little more, can play newest AAA titles handheld, can play Switch games too, can buy a shit ton of games for cheap because of Steam Sales, and gives you a whole desktop if you plug it in a dongle. Also, it's an open system, so you can actually install any OS on it, if you like.
I picked up the switch the other day (it was getting dusty so I wanted to put it in the electronics box) and was surprised at how light (by mass) it was. I almost turned it on. But the call of the deck, the smell of it's exhaust, the non drifting controls, the Bluetooth m+kb, the deck is my new favorite console ever. (That said there are still some ui improvements that absolutely need fixing)
