Then use one of those travel battery charging things.

edit: but I guess. Don't buy the system cause your apparantly taking 3+ hour flights every other day.

Where did your read that?

Aparently your rigth the AC adaptor is a portable battery too, awesome if thruth.

I like how you only quoted the first sentence I said and left out the most important detail.
"I think providing a decent battery life to the Switch would have been very difficult if they wanted to keep the price where it is."

3 hours for Zelda is not good, but not that bad either.

Expected.

Contrary to popular belief, the switch's battery life is the least of its problems. 3hours of play on an intensive open world game is very good.

I like it when reality hits.

All those absurd predictions for Switch's portable annoyed me back then.

What worries me is if you get even less in practice than advertised. A 2 hour functional battery would be miserable. 3 in practice would be my minimum.

Only problem is, that isn't really a "detail", it doesn't present coherent linkage of one to the other.
PS4 and Xbox last year launched Slims with 14nm at much cheaper price than OG.
Countless laptops, smartphones and tablets have launched on modern fab nodes without increasing price.
The whole point of smaller fab nodes is fitting more chips in the same area, which is inclined to reduce costs.
Wafer costs increase, but the fact there is ~30% more chips in same area offsets that, as well as performance/battery benefits.
14nm is not bleeding edge process, it's already gone thru multiple revisions, and yields are by now good and mature.
And cost of CPU is one small part of the console production cost in the first place.  So how is cost relevant here?
Hell, if they reduce power draw they can reduce the size of the batteries themself while keeping battery life the same.
