    I like having a switch, but I had some problems with mine when I first got it. Straight out of the box, the controller did not work. I had to bring it back to the store the next day, and they were willing to let me trade it in. They said if there was something wrong with the new unit, I wouldn't be able to trade it in again, and I'd have to go through Nintendo. They pushed a 2 year warranty on me in the event that there was a problem with the new unit. The new unit worked great, but after a few months, I started getting problems with the left joy con (a known issue). I'm just dealing with it for now since I'm pretty sure the warranty wouldn't cover the controller and I don't want to mail it into Nintendo.

    I've had this for 2 weeks now, and mainly bought it for Zelda, which in of itself isn't the end all to get this system, but considering other titles like Mario Kart and the upcoming Super Mario, it was worth it. Honestly I bought it impulsively only because Best Buy was the only retailer who had them, and saw others new on Amazon and eBay selling for close to $500 for just the console. Graphics are done well, but you'll be disappointed to find that although the tablet has 720p resolution, the dock will only bump it up to 960p to a TV, not even full HD, much less 4K. Back to portability, it gives you the option to play it as a true handheld, but with your hands that far apart, having the controllers attached takes getting used to. In tabletop mode, the 2 grips come off the tablet and attach to a connector, turning it into a typical console controller, and the tablet's built in stand makes of playing on a airplane tray table more like a console game.

    Though it appears that the Switch console drought is clearing up, it is well worth the wait. This Switch can be played anywhere (except underwater, or in a volcano) and the joycons allow you to play in any position imaginable. I often play lying down on my side. More and more third party developers are making Switch games, so the library is only going Tom continue to grow. Hopefully the virtual console is released soon, since they discontinued the WiiU console and the Wii Shop Channel is closing in January 2019. One downside, there is nothing to play out of the box if you just buy the console. At least the original Wii had Sports Resort and the 3DS had Face Raiders and AR Game Cards. You will have to buy at least one game to actually play the Switch, whether a physical game or an eShop download. I bought the Switch for BotW so this wasn't too big of a deal for me, but take this into account if you think $300 is already a bit high for you.

    Other than my computer, I use this console a lot. Road trips, work, parties, car meets and events. Durable, small, and has a good battery life. I wish the controller had a C-Type charger slot. I’m sure they’ll make one (if they haven’t already). I love this thing.

    Excellent game hardware, as a console or portable

    The hybrid nature of the Nintendo Switch lends it several advantages and disadvantages, but, overall, as a piece of game hardware, it's something special. As a console, it's amazingly small and quiet. It's easy to forget, having grown accustomed to consoles as large, clunky beasts, that they can be any other way. The Switch is quiet, with no large cooling fans and no disc drive, and small, fitting anywhere. It turns on, sleeps, and wakes instantly. Taking Switch as a console, there's a sacrifice in power, but there's a large convenience gained from it. Taken as a portable, it's a shockingly powerful dedicated handheld gaming system. The sacrifice in this case is battery life (around three hours), which would feel like an issue for a strictly portable device, but it feels largely negated when it can be docked and played in console mode at any time. Overall, the console is slick, fast, versatile, and a joy to use. I'm looking forward to many years with it.
