    Battery life and weight. That’s what keeps me from getting a pc handheld. Although the switch 2 is so big I don’t know if that holds true anymore

      The switch 2 would have better battery life it was powered by the life force of a mayfly.

      The steam deck has great battery life (better than my original switch by a lot) unless you’re playing something super heavy, and it’s so much more comfortable to hold that the bit of extra weight isn’t that big a deal. I don’t think I’ve touched my switch since I got a deck

      There are PC handhelds that do old emulated games pretty well with good battery life. Sorta like a modern version of a DS or PSP.
