Yeah, I kind of wish they’d done a Surface tablet with an adjustable stand (and maybe made it a little wider so it isn’t quite as handed). Maybe they’ll change it for the NEW Switch when it comes out in a few years :shifty:

Handheld the majority of the time as I don't have my own TV in my house. There's a shared one with my housemate but i just end up using handheld and leaving the dock at my girlfriends, which I sometimes use.

Good point, I do this a lot and played most of Mario handheld


The more I think about it, when the misses wants to watch TV I’ll use my switch handheld. When I us the tv its normally my ps4

Probably docked 30% handheld 70%

Mostly handheld. It's great for playing stuff while half-watching TV.

Not a nice thing to say about your girlfriend

Handheld mode for the most part for me,though I use the dock mode for games like Skyrim or Mario Odyssey quite a lot.
I admit,playing a game of splatoon when i feel like it is great.

I've never bothered docking it and not sure I ever will. Got a ps4 with fifa on the TV now which is all my home set-up gaming needs catered for.

I almost never use it in handheld mode. I think the only time I have is when I was sat in hospital for hours while my girlfriend was having surgery.

For me it depends on the game. Odyssey deserves to be played on the big screen so I won't play that in handheld.

Check out my YouTube channel!
One man should not have this much power in this game. Luckily I'm not an ordinary man.

Yeah, if I'm gonna game out of the home than I use my 3DS, too, Celer. With Switch I find that I use my TV if I'm gaming online otherwise I play in portable mode whilst sat on my sofa.
