Summary

Bought the £400 Switch 2 yesterday; he likes its design, larger screen, and magnetic Joy-Cons but finds gripping it difficult. Software feels weak: old ports and paid upgrades dominate; Mario Kart World is the attraction, and Zelda fees deter him. He says cheaper Windows handhelds offer stronger performance, broader games, and computer functions; he cannot recommend buying Switch 2 yet.

Insight

Excitement again becomes buyer’s remorse when practical usefulness fails to justify the price.
