(no title)

nyir | 2 years ago

It's great, just not fantastic (yet). I'm kind of eager for further hardware revisions, but on the other hand, I've already used it a lot when I otherwise wouldn't have had the option to start up the big desktop for gaming (commuting, or even just to use some time in between things). And while I bought a Switch before, the main benefit here is of course the entire Steam library being available, so no buying the same title more than once.

Biggest dislike is the on-screen keyboard. On the one hand it's usable with the two trackpads, but, I still take way to long to enter text, even compared to a phone screen. It's also very slow to appear and bugs out too often. I really hope that that can be improved so it can pop up and disappear without noticeable delay.

I'm not sure about underpowered, I was actually quite happy to install some rather resource-intensive (Windows!) games and while it's getting quite warm, I never ran out of battery immediately, but yes, if you've got to save energy, better turn on all the options for that. And that's actually quite cool to be able to turn down energy consumption on a whim, or with per-game profiles, etc.

As long as they're going to optimise the experience more and not just keep it as-is, because "it works fine", then it could be a really good platform going forward.

Same question for the dock though, is it worth it?
