Why i HATE the Switch 2

Summary
The £400 Switch 2 disappoints: LCD glare, heavier hardware, and Cyberpunk draining over half the battery in 40 minutes. New games offer little appeal: old titles feel stale, Cyberpunk replays familiar PC hours, and Mario Kart World seems prettier. Docking on 21:9 monitor creates stretched visuals, no audio, awkward cable orientation, wobbly fit, and no aspect-ratio setting.
Insight
Switch 2 buyer’s remorse deepens as hardware gains are outweighed by battery, compatibility, ergonomics, and library frustrations.
