The Switch OLED is already a bit big to travel with for me and I’d prefer it to be smaller in hand. Different strokes for different folks. The Deck doesn’t meet my use case, nad that’s fine.

jeff@programming.dev 2 days agoI have small hands and my kids use it without complaining. It’s bigger than a Switch, but not too much bigger. I’ve traveled with it plenty.

I love the thing and use it extensively whenever I can, but it is bulky and hard to fit into bags with other stuff. If there was a way to separate the palm rest bits and have most other things be flat, and thin enough, that’d make a huge difference. But the bulky palm rests attached to the thin body, it just unavoidably wastes some space, and even more if one wants to be safe and use the case.
But it’s not that bad, easily lived with. Doesn’t remove the fact that it could be much better in that regard though.
Still easily more portable than a laptop though! And much more comfortable to use for gaming, if that’s going to be the most common use case for a computer while you travel.
