Nintendo and Valve are warning owners of their handheld consoles/computers about the heat, which affects not only people, but also electronic devices.
Nintendo does not recommend its use. Switch in the environment where over 35 degrees Celsius. Due to high temperatures, the temperature of the device itself will also rise, which may damage it.
At any time, you need to think about fan grilles so that nothing covers them. The console/handheld should only be used at an ambient temperature of 5 to 35 degrees. Otherwise, there is a risk of damage to the device.
If you use the Nintendo Switch in a high temperature place, the unit’s temperature may become high. Please use it in a place with a temperature of 5～35℃.

As a result of high ambient temperatures, Steam Deck performance dropsreports Valve, noting that in rare cases, the laptop may turn off.
According to Valve, Steam Deck works best when ambient temperature 0 °C to 35 °C. Modified AMD Zen 2 is designed to operate at temperatures up to 100 ° C. If the internal temperature of the steam deck exceeds 105 °C, the device will automatically turn off for safety reasons.
As you can see, the Steam Deck is better prepared for extreme weather conditions. In any case, it is not recommended to expose any electronic device to direct sunlight.
A little more about this – APU Steam Deck works well at temperatures up to 100°C. At 100°C it will start throttling and at 105°C it will turn off. Again, this is to protect yourself (and you) from harm.
