my thoughts on the Switch thusfar:
it's a super unique idea, executed well
it's a tiny thing, but in Rocket League splitscreen, the left and right players' audio is piped through the left and right earbuds, respectively.
it's inaudible when playing Rocket League on the go
the joycon is a fantastic idea for a controller, and works well enough to make splitscreen viable
usb-c is awesome; I can charge my laptop and my Switch from the same cables
the 720p display is perfect imo for the Switch; games are low-res anyway, and it improves battery life tremendously
even with just a Tegra, it feels super fast traversing through the OS
Youtube or Netflix definitely needs to be added
can't wait to get Odyssey

It really makes me wonder "what the actual fuck" when people say on here that the Switch needs or needed a 1080p screen.
Realistically, 720p is perfectly fine for the Switch. I've seen my brother use his Switch in portable mode and it's really a nice combo between sharpness and practicality in terms of hardware.

exactly
I use a 1440p panel as my main monitor, and I'm fine with a low res on such a small screen. My iPhone SE looks fantastic, imo, at 768p because the display is so small.
-
Bingo.
I've never understood the genuine practicality of throwing 1440p panels in 5.5"+ phones. Honestly, 1080p works just fine in that scenario; 1440p's just a waste at that kind of pixel density.
It's why 1136x640 (or 720p) works fine at 4" or around that range. The pixel density is definitely high enough to where anything higher is a bit of a waste.

yep
pixel density is the key word. 4k makes sense on a massive screen, but at such a small size, there's such a small difference in image quality beyond a certain threshold.
