As much as it pains me to say it, the Switch 2's short battery life is a real bummer

Why does it pain you to say so? Aren't you supposedly a neutral video game journalist? Are you afraid Nintendo are going to send hitmen after you if you don't include an apologetic qualifier in your headline reporting on issues with their products?

Should have bought an OLED Steam Deck. Fool.

The switch 2 is overall a real bummer. I don't understand why people are buying it, the only real "reason" is the exclusive games, but I'm happy to wait for emulation to be available. I can already play the original switch games on my steamdeck.

Steam Deck is overall a real bummer. I don't understand why people are buying it, the only real "reason" is the exclusive games, of which there are none. I'm happy to wait for Portal 3 to be available on Nintendo Switch 8. I can already play the original PC games on my Switch with no Proton that can break when a game is patched because pretty much everything gets ported.

People are buying it because they love Nintendo games like you said. It's also because most people don't know enough to emulate/are scared off by anti piracy laws.
Another reason is that people are impatient, if the price dropped I would be tempted to buy one, especially if they also announce a new 3d mario (odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time). I'd want to play it now and not wait for the switch 2 to be hacked.
A lot of people who know how to emulate also would rather buy original hardware because playing on it is just better (I'm the same, if the joycons didn't drift, I probably wouldn't emulate my switch 1 games on my deck)

The article'e author hopes for battery improvements. The entire technology sector wants this. Bigger screen and more powerful uses more battery. 5220ah compared to switch 4310ah. Don't hold your breath waiting for a bigger battery. Also there has been numerous articles on what you need to change to greatly improve the battery time. Another negative switch 2 article for a great selling system that many people enjoy.

5220ah sounds like they just put a standard cell phone battery in. It's a fair bit bigger than a cell phone tho. Standard components are cheaper I guess

Took some digging - author is reporting ~2 hours battery life.

So basically a Steam Deck. That's too bad.

Yeah, I want some.

OG steamdeck, which I retired and never used much.
OLED steamdeck has been life changing however, much much better battery. Between that and lack of oled screen switch 2 is a big miss.

I'll probably get one eventually, but I'm in no rush. We still have lots of Switch games to play, and nothing yet is a must have. Now, if they make a great Zelda game or something, maybe I'll be convinced.
Most of my gaming is on PC or Steam Deck, so the Switch is mostly for my kids and family game time. So as long as the OG fulfills that purpose, I'm not upgrading.

With battery packs and plugs all over everywhere battery life is a non starter topic. 2 hours is plenty

Yeah, I like the OLED on the Switch, maybe I'll wait until the Switch 2 has a revision

Previously people complained the Switch 2 couldn’t push pixels like a PS5…
Is there a big rift in the player base that plays docked vs mobile? I just don’t know how to process the feedback for this console.

Ah yes, definitely should be mAh.
