Arg, they make the screen look absolutely huge with that large front glass panel during most of the video and I was thinking to myself, nice! But then at the end they actually show how large the bezels are underneath the glass and it is quite disappointing. Someday we'll have modern smartphone like mini-bezels (a few mm at most) in our handheld gaming consoles, but I guess not yet.

Screen estate all to the edge of the device can be annoying too, just a wrinkle on your clothes will then cover a bit of the screen.

Play with no clothes on, problem solved.

You clearly have not seen the wrinkles on my body.

Yes, because our chiseled bellies don’t get in the way.

It's not a tablet. It has physical controllers. You don't use a switch by grabbing the screen.

Commando gaming is a time-honored tradition!

well, first, the Switch does have a touch screen.... =)

but I think parent poster is referring to the somewhat common situation with portable devices where you're watching/playing in bed and the device is propped up on a pillow or blanket or something

There are many people who do though, and there are many games that heavily utilize the touchscreen.
