I think you all are also putting too much emphasis 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 that 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.

The Switch isn't using the latest and greatest of battery technology anyway, there is allot of room for improvement in that regard.
In-fact the Switch isn't using the latest and greatest of anything, except for probably some of the tech in the Joycons.

As for laptops, clearly you have chosen the incorrect device. My notebooks tend to last 10+ hours on a single charge.

Steam Controller:


Apparently the Oculus Rift and Vive controllers use a similar motor too.
