| Conina said: The more important information of the added specs for me is the weight of the device. I was worried about a brick like the Shield handheld (579 g), but the 398 g of the Switch (with Joy-Cons attached) is okay for me. My 3DS XL ain't much lighter. I made a comparison of the dimensions and weight of different handhelds/tablets and game controlelrs:

That's some good info plus i'd forgotten about lithium ion battery packs having 3.6-3.8V output.
0.4kg seems too heavy to me. I have a 3DS XL but tend to use that home and use a standard 3DS for travelling. It's not ridiculous in weight but its not the compact light weight design that Nintendo have been famous for.
I certainly feel Switch needs to get lighter and smaller in the future but maybe I'm wrong perhaps that weight will be accepted.
