The headset is comfortable, but the microphone keeps falling out of the port and the connection is spotty. I expected more for the price.

Play at home or on the go with one system. The Nintendo Switch system is designed to go wherever you do, instantly transforming from a home console you play on TV to a portable system you can play anywhere. So you get more time to play the games you love, however you like. Enjoy three modes in one system. TV mode: Connect your system to the TV using the included dock to enjoy a traditional gaming experience in HD. Handheld mode: Bring your games on your next travel adventure, or simply carve out some “me” time in the coziest seat in the house. Tabletop mode: Pop the kickstand on the screen and detach the included Joy-Con controllers to enjoy game time even without a TV. Games for the whole family. Nintendo Switch systems are the home of games like Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and others starring Mario and friends. And don’t forget series like Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda, Splatoon, Pikmin, and more! Connect and play together. Share the smiles! You can buddy up on one system, play online, or even link your systems together wherever you are for multiplayer favorites like the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game. Joy-Con controllers included. The two included Joy-Con controllers let you play multiplayer games right out of the box—just pass one to a friend and go. Attach both to the screen for handheld mode or use both as a single controller when you play on the big screen. Plus, built-in motion controls really put you in the game in titles like Super Mario Party.
 
Great game system.

I have used it mainly in the console mode attached to my 55 in TV. It is a fun system with a good selection of games. I do recommend upgrading to the Nintendo Pro Controller as the joy cons do suffer from drift.

This is my first curved screen monitor and I was a little hesitant to try one. I'm glad I did. I use my computer mainly for programming and this monitor is great for that. No more bezels to get in my way. The only downside is it is a little pricey, Overall, very happy with it

How long is the battery good for?

It depends on what you are using it for. Graphics intensive gaming or video conferencing will eat your battery much faster than working on a document or answering emails.
