I also have a switch.
As hard it's ok (kinda difficult to compare when your cellphone costs almost the double).
The screen looks quite ok, the battery it's fine (I did use it quite a lot on public places and never ran out of juice), and quite a bit on airplanes, but those had power outlets.
The size is portable enough to carry around but not portable enough to bring it around (I did, but I do have a leather jacket that has a side pocket that I could bring a machine gun).
Everything feels snappy but barebones, as for now it's a Zelda machine (though the snipperclips demo was fun with 2 players). You can't listen to music or watch movies (quite a shame) as for now.
The console feels great on the hands (at least mine), everything felt responsive, and when you manage to acomodate the joycons that feel TINY when you first grab them, feel quite confortable in your hands (the shit they want you to stick between those sucks balls, and it's actually more confortable to just play with the switch), never felt cramped or anything. The pro controller it's good (miss the 360 triggers) and it also works on PC (bluetooth, and you'll need to map buttons {Xinput} IIRC).
Sadly as hardware I would still say, it's a zelda machine. A little too big, a little bit underpowered (don;t really know specs, but zelda does chug when you're on top of trees and transparency kicks in). If they manage to make Mario the same shit as zelda, I'll be impressed (but they did the same with wii, and didn't get enough steam).
But I'm one of the few people that will defend the wiimote as one of the best controllers of all time, and it seems they got most of the stuff right (unlike dual shock 4, that big tactile button just sucks balls, and I just hate all this trend of photo/share buttons that nintendo jumped on).
As far as people go, the vita was almost a perfect handheld but lacked games/variety, so that domain it's a little hard (but I guess nintendo knows their deal).
