I'm more interested in battery life instead of raw power.
It have been my biggest disappointment with all recent Nintendo handhelds since the DS Lite which had great battery life. Since then it seems to not be as relevant of a metric. Currently one pretty much need to play next to a power outlet.

Hopefully if the concept is just an upgrade to what switch is they can use the dock to improve performance a lot compared to handheld mode. Making it not feel underwhelming as home console or as a handheld.

While I think this is only true with the 2017 model (2h 30min on BotW, decreasing with years of use, WTF?), it got much better with the Lite, 2020 and OLED models.

But since we are talking about a new, much more powerful (and hungry) console, I'm concearned about this as well. Ideally, I would want at least 3h minimum with the most taxing games. Maybe it's unrealistic, but I can dream xD
