Yes. To be honest in a weird way it's fulfilled the mission of the PSP and Vita to bring real premium home console type experiences on the road.

It's a little unwieldy as a handheld but the graphics are stellar for a unit that size and my hands haven't cramped once (3DS killed my thumbs and pointers, even the XL). I'd give it a solid 9.5 as a portable. It's a passable 8 as a home console, but a bit underpowered.
On a 1080p projector, BotW still looks great and relatively crisp. 4K TVs tend to struggle with stretching non-integers like 900p over that many pixels.

I do want one, but I'd ideally want to use it for both on the go gameplay and at home on the monitor, trouble is the docked mode is showing poor performance compared to it's mobile side of things. The other issue I have is the paying for online, which I can't see myself paying for, so two downsides and only one upside which is the handheld part. I already own the N3DS, so at the same time I don't feel like jumping for another handheld only device (because the way docked mode performance and the way it's been going makes it out to be mobile first and docked mode hardly ever, so it may as well be treated and seen as a handheld at this point).

Not for me, it gives me neck pain when using it as a handheld for more than half an hour. That's not exclusive to the Switch though. It's better with the stand while sitting back but the screen is awfully tiny that way.

How do you sit? Perhaps your posture is the cause
I want a switch mainly for the portable aspect so yeah I like it as a handheld.







I'll be using it docked for probably 90% of the time -- games like BoTW shine on a big TV -- but I love the fact I can just pick it up and jump on a train or take it with me to a friend's place. I worry about damaging that beautiful screen though...
Nintendo should make 2 new switches, portable without dock and home, with procontroller and switch hardware without screen and improved for 1080p 30 fps stable output.
