The main pros of the Nintendo Switch 2 System are the only console here that needs no tv at all: nintendo's published tech specs list a 7.9-inch wide color gamut lcd at 1920x1080 with hdr10, so handheld mode is a complete gaming setup on its own and nintendo publishes a size of approximately 4.5 inches tall x 10.7 inches wide x 0.55 inches thick with joy-con 2 attached, and approximately 1.18 lbs — small enough to live in a desk drawer between sessions. The main downside is 256gb of internal ufs storage, a portion of which nintendo notes the system reserves — modern game installs will push most buyers toward a microsd express card, sold separately. Overall, experts rate it "Recommended" with a 8.6/10 consensus score.
