Summary
After testing both around £300, he prefers the Switch OLED for its lighter, narrower feel, vivid screen, and smaller controllers. Detachable Joy-Cons, adjustable kickstand, and compact tabletop use make it more practical for planes; Steam Deck feels bulky. Switch-to-TV docking is smoother; Steam Deck offers stronger PC/AAA games, but he will travel with Switch OLED and gaming laptop.
Insight
His travel-gaming choice prioritizes portability and familiar Nintendo exclusives over maximum technical power or library breadth.
