I think you all are also putting too much emphadid on battery life. We know the tech for batteries has stagnated but that hasn't stopped the drive for portable devices. The Switch battery life is like 3hrs....maybe. I have never had a laptop tyat could actually stay on for more than 45mins not plugged.

We are always near a power outlet in this day and age. My phone is virtually always plugged in.

My Switch's battery life is like 2 hours tops with Zelda. It's not great. Do you know how most people justify that in their mind? "It's a hybrid console". I highly doubt two hours battery life would be nearly as acceptable on a purely handheld console.

As for other examples, you need to put yourself in others shoes. *You* always buy laptops with terrible battery lives. *You* always have to have your phone plugged in. This is not the norm, and you need to recognize that. On the other hand, my boss returned his laptop because it *only* got 7 hours battery life instead of the advertised 9.
