- feverzsj 3y agoThey never call it handled. It's a portable console.
- IsTom 3y agoExcept for having "handheld mode" https://www.nintendo.com/us/switch/compare/ https://www.nintendo.com/us/switch/compare/
- feverzsj 3y agoYeah, WiiU also has handled mode. If it can't fit in a normal pocket, it's not so "handled".
- prmoustache 3y agoIf it is handled, it is in your hands, not your pocket. I guess everyone has its own definition. Mine is it is a handled console if you can comfortably play with it in your hands during 1h without arm/hand/joints fatigue.
- neoberg 3y agoIt can be held in hands and used. So handheld. Fitting in a pocket doesn't have anything to do with being handheld. It would be called "pocketable" or something like that otherwise. I use my Steam Deck and Switch exclusively by holding them in my hands and never dock.
- Qwertious 3y ago>It can be held in hands and used. So can a 15" laptop. That doesn't make 15" laptops handhelds.
- neoberg 3y agoI really want to see how you can hold your 15" laptop and play a game or type something while doing that.
- Qwertious 3y agoPut the palm of your off-hand at the centre underneath the laptop, put your main hand on the trackpad.
- Tyrannosaur 3y agoIf by "held in hands" you actually mean "sit on top of your lap" then you may understand why laptops aren't called handhelds.
- vel0city 3y agoMy immersion blender is handheld and doesn't fit in my pocket. My hair dryer is handheld and doesn't fit in my pocket. A tennis racquet is handheld and doesn't fit in my pocket. A baseball bat is handheld and doesn't fit in my pocket. It seems strange to say something needs to be pocketable in order to be considered "handheld".
