There are no benefits or drawbacks, only the possibility that it could be valuable to someone: Active cooling is used in the set-top box, which means that a fan is located within. Over time, this fan may become clogged with dust. And because it has a lot of huge holes in it, the prefix has to be used very cautiously to ensure that sand and water do not get inside. Due to the frequency with which you remove the joycons from the console, the attachments that hold them in place are likely to become less secure over time. Even when purchased on a cartridge, certain games call for installation in the device's internal memory or on a memory card. These games can take up several gigabytes of storage space, but there don't appear to be very many of them. It is sufficient to insert a card with 64 gigabytes. Because of this, I strongly suggest that you invest in physical game cartridges rather than downloading digital versions of the same game (even though the price is the same). Digital games take up the same amount of storage space as their physical counterparts, but downloading them requires additional memory cards with capacities of 256 gigabytes or more. And in general, it is beneficial to have a boxed edition of the game included in the collection; in addition, you have the ability to alter them. To summarize, I can only advocate getting it if you already own another platform (PS4, PC, or Xbox one), you are looking for something different, and you are willing to spend $4,000 on games. In that case, if you require a set-top box that fits in your pocket, you should consider purchasing a PlayStation Vita or a Nintendo 3DS instead. You won't be able to enjoy yourself any less.
