The last portable device that gave you that much battery life didn't have built-in WiFi, was on a much smaller and screen and had FAR weaker hardware. To get that experience, you'd  have to turn off the WiFi on your handheld and stick to VC games. I'm pretty sure you want more out of your 3DS and Switch than that. :)

I don't think being content with five hours is "settling." Not for me at least, because outside of a plane trip, I can't think of any situations where I have five hours to play video games away from home and not within convenient range of an outlet. Maybe when I was a kid, but not now.

It doesn't matter whether I want more or less of an experience (for the record, I hardly ever play online - if any at all, on consoles -), it's just that five hours is an atrocity. My laptop can't barely lasts 6 hours (under minimal brightness!), and if I have to stick it around in power sources that much time, the "portability" aspect of it becomes moot. It screws me up when I'm at class, because depending on which one (or the assigment I'm doing) I can't connect it anywhere. It's just dumb. Anything less than half a day shouldn't be acceptable.
