One of the best and most unexpected aspects of the Switch for me was how good it was as a portable console. No, not a handheld… I travel a lot and visit a lot of friends and family, and once I bought a little mobile dock/hdmi adapter thing, I realized how incredible it is to be able to easily transport a full-ass console wherever I go.
I've had so many impromptu Mario Kart and Jackbox sessions, and it's been great being able to pick up where I left off on any games, but keep them on a big screen.
I've used the Switch probably 10x as a portable console than I have in actual handheld mode.
And for anyone wondering, this is the adapter I bring with me everywhere. I works with my MacBook Pro charger, so the whole setup is just insanely portable for me.
