I have a Switch that just works better for playing Indies and games on low settings. I got the Steam Deck largely to play the “console quality” modern games that Switch can’t handle. And for those games I was getting like 1.5-2 hours (tops). That was fine for around the house use. But I realized very quickly that the battery drains really quickly when you’re trying to keep yourself entertained on a flight over seas (and the AC doesn’t work or doesn’t have the juice to charge or keep a charge).
That was when I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from a launch Switch to an OLED.
