The Switch and the Deck are completely different sizes, though. The Deck I would consider at the very upper end of actually portable, while the Switch really does feel like it strikes a magical balance of pocketability, screen size and weight - not to mention battery life.

Give me the Deck any day, though. Nintendo’s game pricing is absurd and the JoyCon controls are absolutely awful for adult hands. Like, “how did this happen”-level bad, imo. Valve has a tie-up with iFixit for the Deck, too, so I expect many happy years of use.

Perhaps we’ll get a PC-based device between the two in a couple of years time. Deck-quality controls. 8” 1080p OLED VRR display. ~500g. 3 hour battery life. 1080p60-capable on more recent titles. That would seem like the golden path.
