Hot humid climates are bad for electronics because wet metals corrode and heat makes chemical reactions occur more quickly. Soon I'm moving from a temperate climate to a tropical climate. Is it worth storing my Switch in an airtight container with a moisture absorber, taking any other precautions or is this just paranoia?
How concerned should one be about their electronics in a tropical climate?

Interesting question. I'm not a tekie guy, but one would think you would still get "Condensation" in it when you take it out of the "airtight container" in a moisture like environment Let's see what the guys come up with.
On a side note:
As a child, I used to live in Mexico, and I carried around an old low tech "Motorola" Portable Radio, and had no problems. Though it doesn't produce high heat that requires it to have a fan.

used to have very heavy gaming sessions on ps1, ps2, gba sp, ds lite, n64 never had an issue. used to live in el salvador.
This is true but there's a difference between it being in humid air when I'm actually using it and storing it in humid air for years.

I want a handheld gaming system with a tablet sized screen, like a 8 or10" screen, with controllers that can detach like the Switch. -

I don't see the buzz about a square screen personally. I think there will be a review on the site within a few weeks though if you are interested.+1 -

I've put down the money on the Odin 2 Mini since I just love that Vita form factor. Loved the power of the Odin 2 but the size always put me off, this one seems exactly what I've been wanting.

All these things expecting to be super huge is overrated just run a type c cable to your TV if you want a big display or in my case screen mirror it

On the go tho I meant, I use my 10" tablet and a Bluetooth controller for retro gaming while sitting on my porch or on long car rides sometimes. Easier on my eyes than the Switch screen.

Ken unless the games are made for that screen size most suck on a screen that size... Having a square screen and being brighter and higher res helps but it's not a cure all, text is tiny bullets are tiny, your.... Well lol -
