lightwarrior78 02/05/21 10:50:31 AM #3:	Yeah. The battery is not long lasting, even in airplane mode with brightness way down. --- I'm not saying that less toxic gaming journalists would lead to less toxic gamers.

Its hilarious that they market it as this top-tier handheld device. The kind you can bring with you on road trips and have it last a long time. <cite>ZannoL posted [p:950306442] in Serious qu...

CRON 02/05/21 10:54:59 AM #9:	The battery sucks, but if you've owned your Switch since launch, it's degraded since. Buy a replacement battery and you should be fine.

The kind you can bring with you on road trips and have it last a long time. One of the selling points on MSI's site for my laptop was the battery lasting 45 minutes, and that's considered portable. And have you ever used the Sega Nomad? It used 6 AA batteries and lasted 2 hours. 3-4 hours for the Switch is good enough for me. --- I'm here! I'm furry!

GrabASnickers 02/05/21 11:06:45 AM #13:	I don't really see this being a huge deal unless you're going on 10 hour flights/other transportation rides all the time. It would be nice if it would last that whole time but I don't usually like to play games that long even if it is the only thing to do. It's a fair complaint in those cases, but sometimes I see people who just play it around the house complain and I'm like why, you can just stick it back in the dock after each session <cite>GrabASnickers posted [p:950306968] in Serious qu...
