Steam deck works great for tons of games. Battery life is an issue, but if you just want to plug it in in a hotel room the start gaming its amazing. I don't really think its about better vs a switch. I've never used the switch, but I'm sure I'd be happy with one of those too if I had any games. Never thought about it, but I have hundreds of games on steam, so deck is great.... Even though I play a few specific games like 90% of the time.
I travel with mine and it’s great. Have a magnetic lithium battery I can use for backup battery but I’ve never used it for the deck as I don’t play for hours on end and can charge it between playing, or just have it plugged in while playing in the hotel bed. I did play it for a long time on a flight once but there are plugs on flights now so it wasn’t an issue.
I have a switch but there isn't much I really want to play on it. Was more interested in other manufacturers offerings like the rog ally, etc.
