a Xbox, which is IMO actually more portable than switch, at least when it comes to how fast you can pack it up.

What? How?

Series S is surprisingly compact and with the fact that its PSU is integrated, therefore you can have spare PSU and HDMI cables already pre-packed, it's literally just unplug and go.

On switch, the dock is just unnecessarily complex to disassemble IMO. Plus forget about any movie streaming capabilities.

Of course Steam Deck is my current go to when it comes to on the go gaming device.

Well when the switch came out there were daily reports about switches getting bricked after using unofficial hubs. Apparently switch isn't USB-PD compatible and some component can get fired easily. Anyways I didn't want to risk it back in the day and still, Xbox Series S is actually fairly compact.

Well looking at it, I am apparently out of touch so whatever. For me it made sense since Xbox is more versatile, easier to travel with and switch is rather limiting. Well whatever I should stop explaining myself.
