I will note from experience the weight decrease with the OLED version was noticeable. So that was an improvement. I also have the official dock hardwired with ethernet so I tend to plug in for downloads. A lot of things have been fixed and improved since launch as well.
But you are right, it can be heavy, clunky, slow, and depending on what you wanna do, it may requiring a lot of tinkering. There's also the occasional games that just won't work at all or great on it, even with some tinkering.
Despite all that i said, the OLED special editions were very tempting!
