I initially completel ignores the console side of it and didn't even hook up the dock. I used my wiiU as a big ol' handheld as well most of the time. I just love handheld gaming and the Switch is perfect for it.

I'm surprised by how much I like it as a console though. Zelda look gogeous on the big screen and the puppydog grip is surprisingly compfy.

The only drawback I can think of, is that I'm going to have to buy a second power adapter for charging in Handheld mode for long play sessions in bed.

Don't buy the official charger!

A phone charger and a generic C Cable work great! I'm using the exact same one I use for my phone. I bought some extra C Cables (5 for $19, I think) for at home use but you don't need the official product.

Really? How fast does it charge? Can you play and charge at the same time?

I was hesitant using a standart USB-charger because of the Switches 15V/2.6A specification. Powerbanks at 5V don't seem to really play nice with it either, so I thought I'd have to buy the official one. If c-cable + standart charger work, that's great news!
