Gaming Laptop vs Nintendo Switch


Nintendo Switch Lite - Zacian and Zamazenta Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

So, I just got myself a brand new laptop. If you have been reading my last few posts, you'll know about it. It's not really a gaming laptop per se, but, it can play games. It's got an AMD Ryzen 7 CPU and a Radeon X Vega 10 integrated graphics.

I can play Diablo III, sets on high but games like Dirt 4 only on mediums. It's pretty big with a 15.6-inch FHD screen. Watching youtube videos and movies will be great on it. I also like the speaker which is surprisingly good for listening to Spotify.

One thing though, at night before I sleep, I will always turn to my Nintendo Switch lite. Even, when I had the original Switch, I'll use it to watch youtube videos but I'm doing it more with the lite because it's much lighter and portable.

Of course, I can also do that with my laptop. But, it's kinda a hassle. You don't usually turn off your Switch lite, They're always on. It'll be sleeping and if you want to use it, just press the 'home' button 3 times to wake it up.

I don't know about you but, I will roll around my bed when watching youtube or playing games on my Switch lite. You can't do that if you're using your laptop. Also, if you put your laptop on the bed, it'll make your bed hot. The circulation won't also be good since the bottom part is blocked.

Sometime, I'll put my Switch lite against my pillow. You can't comments or reply when watching youtube. You can do that if you're on your laptop. One thing I like to do is playing with the coding on my switch lite with SmileBASIC 4 when I feel like it.

Again, it's a hassle to turn on my laptop whenever I feel like testing out some coding. I did try putting my laptop on sleep instead of powering it off. But, I don't like the idea of leaving it to sleep all through the day or night if I'm not going to use it.

Obviously, gaming on a laptop is much better and you can play with an Xbox controller or with mouse and keyboard. The graphics are also way better with a bigger screen. And, the choice of games is much wider than on the Nintendo Switch.

The laptop is still a computer and you do your works on it. You create and do a presentation, check emails, code games, do scientific calculations, or whatever. You can't do that or can you on a Nintendo switch? Although, it can't do more complex, heavy work.

The cool thing is that you can dock the Nintendo Switch to a monitor and use software like SmileBASIC 4 to study coding and create programs. If Microsoft documents are available on the Switch, you can actually create work documents on it too.

The Nintendo Switch has already been hacked and people are using it as a computer. So, if Nintendo wants to go to that route and turning their gaming console into a 'computer' it might open up their system more to people. It can be just like an android phone with all the apps.

If I can turn my Switch lite into a computer without hacking, I'll be using it more every day. Instead, of just using it before I sleep. Imagine, docking it to a Tv or monitor and do your work or have a quick gaming break. I might not even need a laptop anymore.

Okay, some people might not like that idea and prefer separating a gaming console from their working computer. But, I'm the type that likes everything to be on one device. I don't like to have an idea and then having to turn on my laptop or computer to work on it.

I guess, basically it depends on people's own preferences. To me, it all boils down to portability and the flexibility of the gaming laptop and the Nintendo Switch lite. One thing for sure, I'm more into gaming and watching entertainment on my Switch lite than on a laptop. 


Turning my switch lite into a computer would be cool. In this picture, I plug in my keyboard that can be used with the SmileBASIC 4, game coding software. You can't dock the switch lite though. I wish it could. But, still comfortable in desktop mode.

As much as I love gaming on a laptop, portability and flexibility of use is a win for me.
