Honestly the whole Switch Lite thing is kinda derailing the thread.

In terms of performance, which is ultimately the topic here, the gap between the two is gargantuan, and at the end of the day $450 for better-than-last-gen performance in a hybrid form factor is good value.

The switch lite is also a dying console. Little to no support moving forward. Doesn't seem relevant.

Steam deck, rog and S2 are all in the ps4 to ps4 pro range. Except one is way cheaper and has exclusives, making it clearly the best option for portable gaming. Perhaps the deck 2 will change that, but for now the S2 is superior bang for the buck.

All this “ROG-Ally” chatter just reminds me of the N-Gage and Gizmondo.

For the price I simply am not impressed with the rog.

S2 is more powerful than I expected. Probably 30$ above what I expected.

None of Nintendo's current consoles are hybrids, they are all mobile devices with docking functionality... The same functionality that phones and tablets have had for decades... Doesn't make my phone a Hybrid.

Mobile SoC, battery to play mobile, display, wireless connectivity, physical controls.

The fact that one device sells more than another doesn't impact me, you or anyone else and doesn't make one product better than another.
Your argument is stupid.

Considering part of the argument was portability... The smaller screen should be a benefit, not a hindrance.

120hz is great, it's a shame not many Switch games can benefit from it as it lacks the CPU horse power... Many games like Indiana Jones will be at 30fps, making the displays 120hz capability... Literally useless for that title.

HDR is a pointless feature as it cannot do HDR, the OLED Switch 1 model, despite also not being HDR... Gives a better "HDR-Like" experience with deeper blacks and colours.

The Switch 2's display is actually it's biggest weakness... So if you are going to try and use that terrible display in your argument, you are going to fall face first.
The Switch 2's panel exhibits really poor contrasts, colours and will exhibit excessive amounts of ghosting resulting in a very poor output, the Switch lite's LCD is factually better ironically, despite being smaller and only 60hz. - But that harkens back to hardware being more than just the black-and-white paper specs people use in their arguments.

I am not the one who started the comparisons.
I am literally taking everyone elses comparisons and blowing out the comparison to make their arguments look stupid when their arguments can be used to preference another device.

There is nothing wrong with preferring a laptop or Switch 2 over the Xbox Ally X/Rog Ally X.

It runs better on Switch 2 because of it's increased horsepower, not because of optimization.

Your argument is definitely stupid.

Pokemon will run better emulated on the Rog Ally X... And that's the irony of it all.

If TDP is your argument, just remember... Switch Lite is lower powered than the Switch 2, if I can take your argument and apply it to another device, it kinda makes your argument stupid.

I am not the one who initiated the original comparison. Don't push such lies.

As a bonus... There is no garbage E-Waste Game Key Cards. That's a very positive feature for PC handhelds to have.

SteamOS is actually a good OS, you should try it sometime instead of propagating nonesense.

Hey bro I think you keep calling my arguments stupid just to piss me off or what? Are you really OK? I was talking about Windows 11. Personally, I own a Laptop from Asus under ROG Strix Scars and their software can be unstable at times. You just brought out Asus ROG Xbox Ally X into the argument saying it's a better piece of hardware for more than twice the price. In terms of specs maybe, but if you have to deal with W11 and tons of softwares such as BIOS, ASUS Armory Crate and AMD drivers then it won't be very straightforward and stable experience like with Switch OS. Also, from what I've read XBox Ally X SOC can get up to 85 C degree in the highest TDP mode. Not looking good long term in terms of stability like my laptop that ended in RMA due to CPU instability after 2 years of usage.

Also, Bro you're being dumb since you don't even understand that Switch 2 is on completely different performance level than Switch Lite. Is Asus ROG Xbox Ally X 10 times faster than Switch 2 while featuring up to 35W TDP mode? Please understand that Switch 2 is on completely different performance level than Switch Lite. Is Asus ROG Xbox Ally X 10 times faster than Switch 2 while featuring up to 35W TDP mode?

Also, you're being unreasonable with dumb arguments like Switch Lite is a better handheld and getting off topic. This is Switch 2 performance discussion not Switch Lite, you're just being childish for no reason. The difference between price between Switch Lite and Switch 2 is about $220 in the US. It's not $550 like between Switch 2 and Asus ROG Xbox Ally X.

Let's not discuss further, since you're being off topic and disrespectful. Check whether Windows 11 is performing very well lately first, before calling my argument stupid. You're not reading everything thoroughly even though I tried to elaborate my argument about software of Asus not being optimized for gaming.

Okay let's turn the temperature down a bit shall we?

There's no need to be abrasive and call each other's points stupid/dumb/etc, it only brings down the level of discourse and poisons the well.

Let's try to keep things calm and civil.

Not entirely accurate.

Switch 1 Lite (or other Switch 1 models) cannot play Switch 2 games.

The Switch 2 cartridges of Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime 4 and a few more games contain the Switch 1 version plus the Switch 2 upgrade. If you insert these cartridges into a Switch 1 it only plays the Switch 1 version and ignores the upgrade files.

You don't "play carts", you play (Switch 1) software on these carts.

It's funny that you have to tell a mod that. Everyone on this site who has ever had a conversation with Pemalite know just how stubborn he can be with his "agruments." I just shake my head now after trying to talk to him about certain things. The guy once tried to tell me that Phil Spencer wasn't a liar about anything and asked me to prove it. lol 

You're a Nintendo fan and have a cool head about things, maybe you should be the Mod here? at least in this particular thread anyways.  

None of Ikea's current office seats are chairs, they are all furniture with sitting functionality... The same functionality that sofas and stools have had for decades... Doesn't make my seat a chair.

upholstery, armrests, legs, screws, braces, and a cushion to sit on.

The fact that one seat sells more than another doesn't impact me, you or anyone else and doesn't make one product better than another.
Your argument is stupid.

--------

What I'm trying to point out is that you're either ignoring established categories or don't even know the basic level categories for gaming consoles we've been using for 10 years. The category we assign to the Switch (sans Switch Lite) and Switch 2 is hybrid console. The "hybrid" part because they function as a home console when docked and a handheld by undocking and attaching the controllers to the side to play; while handheld/home console play is sufficient, it can also be used as a tablet too by undocking without attaching controllers and using the touchscreen, or in tabletop mode by using the kickstand.

While everything you can move around is technically “mobile” (it's an accurate verb), we don't categorize things that way. “Mobile devices” refers to a subsection of phones (mobile phones) and their derivatives, such as iPad, iPod touch, and Android tablets; not dedicated gaming consoles. Defining based on composition commits the fallacy of composition and an overgeneralization.

If you’re trying to prove his argument “stupid”, using fallacies and misunderstandings of basic-level categories are counterproductive toward that goal.
