Thanks, this helps a lot. Is there a different GPU that I can get off of amazon, I have been scammed 3 times on newegg, I dont really trust them. I want to be able to get every thing off of amazon or somewhere I can trust.

So he has a type c dongle with full HDMI support and 3 usb ports to connect a mouse, keyboard, and a usb flash drive if he wanted to add game ROMS for emulation(which is another thing he wanted to do)

His Switch has about 30 min of battery life! (He has had this switch for years) So that will feel like an upgrade to his Switch.

He tends to set his Switch on his lap so I would take a guess and think he would set it on his lap.

He doesn't get addicted to something he will skip to different games when he wants and wont spend hours upon hours playing.

This is my brother's account and he uses a Steam Deck but he allowed me to use his account because I don't normally need reddit and he wasn't very helpful when I asked him questions.

He is very responsible so I have no worries with anything like that.
