Steam Deck is pretty similar size and weight. I don't see why Nintendo gets a pass on glorified mobile phone specs.
Steam deck is way bulkier and heavier at 1.6 lbs vs .9 lbs and 1.9 inches thick vs .55 inches thick
The 1.475 pounds is only 0.575 pounds heavier. 60% of the weight of a can of soda. It's only 2 inches on the controller grips. It's only 0.8 inches in the middle. Both very reasonable sacrifices to make for significantly better performance.
