Do you mean for the use cases in the article or in general? It certainly is big but it is a remarkable device and works exceptionally well. I'm shocked how well Valve did (just in general, they nailed it and are executing well). I bring the SD a bunch of places, quick resume is awesome, the screen is great, powering games isn't an issue. I suspect it may get smaller later but even the Switch now seems too small and there are lots of add-ons to extend it so your hands aren't cramped up.

The use case of playing a game outside the house. I find that even the switch lite to be far too big for this, but at least it fits in a bag a bit better. The Sony Vita was probably the perfect form factor in my opinion.

Obviously those things can't play modern PC titles on low to medium settings, but that doesn't feel particularly necessary to me.

I mean, then the SD isn't for you, no? Just get a Vita or one of the modern indie pocket gaming handhelds.
