There are no negatives or positives; the only thing that might be useful is that: The set-top box uses active cooling, which means that a fan rotates inside of it. Over time, this fan may fill with dust. Due of the numerous huge holes on it, care must be taken when using the prefix to prevent sand or water from getting there. Additionally, because you take the joycons out of the console frequently, the fastening will probably become looser with time. There don't seem to be many games that require installation in internal memory or a memory card and take up several gigabytes, even if they were purchased on a cartridge. A 64GB card can be inserted without issue. Because of this, I suggest that you purchase games on cartridges rather of digital ones (which are equally expensive), which will need you to purchase many memory cards or very large ones with storage capacities of 256GB and higher. Additionally, having a boxed copy of the game in your collection is a wonderful touch because you can replace them. In conclusion, I can only suggest purchasing if you already own a platform (PS4/PC/Xbox One), want something different, and are willing to spend $4,000 on games. Otherwise, if you require a portable set-top box, you should carry a PS Vita or 3DS instead; you won't be disappointed.
