After using the Switch Lite for a week, I must admit that it's not the most suitable option for RPG games that require in-game reading. My eyes were strained while reading text in Octopath 2, and the battery life is average, with low volume. However, if you plan on playing first-party games like Super Mario Deluxe and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the Switch Lite's compact size and weight make it an ideal device, even if you're lying down.

To summarize, the Switch Lite is an excellent device to complement your v1, v2, or OLED model. However, if you have great eyesight, physical limitations, prefer games with minimal text, TV or desktop mode are not options, exclusively play in handheld while requiring portability, understands and accepts its drawbacks, notably not being able to detach its joycons, on a tight budget, then the Switch Lite could be your primary device.

Ideally, having both models is best, especially if the Switch is your only gaming machine, but in reality, most people would prefer a single device with the least number of drawbacks. In this case, the OLED model or the "more" budget friendly V2 are likely the better choices for most, unless you have extra funds to spare or don't value money.
