Gaming Tablet

I like my Nintendo Switch for its form factor, and making gaming more "casual", but it doesn't have all the games I want to play.
- Form factor of Nintendo Switch (with controllers by the side)
- Plays Windows/Steam games
- I want to "Pick up and Play"
- Play from the coach/bed
- Quick success or failure
- Some sort of satisfaction within 15 minutes that makes me feel like I have progress, or am progressing
