Awesome battery life and great for kids on the go.

I bought the Switch Lite so my wife and I could have separate islands in Animal Crossing. I played the original Switch a ton in handheld mode, especially in bed. After playing with the Lite, the original Switch feels so heavy! The Lite is great if you strictly want to play handheld. But do not buy if you have any desire to play on the TV. I do miss that option more than I thought I would.

Color is nice,easy to hold, kids love it, so do i.

Nice color, easy to hold, nice screen, nice color.

I’m not usually a fan of handheld portable gaming devices due to the size and the awkward way you have to hold it. I would rather use a more comfortable controller on a larger screen, however, this is the perfect size and the fact that you have options to purchase attachments to make it feel more like an actual controller was my selling point. While I still find using the the tv and regular controllers more comfortable, I will say they did an amazing job with this one. Battery life is pretty good as well as long as you’re not internet gaming with the screen brightness maxed out, then you get maybe a couples hours max I’ve learned, otherwise it does last longer on a single charge. I would suggest a screen protector as it scratches fairly easy, the only downfall, but thanks to the plastic screen it won’t shatter like glass would if dropped, which I have done a few times already and it has held up fine.

I'm late to the Switch ownership pool but picked one of these up for mobile gaming. Specifically for Animal Crossing and the upcoming Pikmin game. It's a good light weight and a pretty screen for a mobile device. The ability to dock and remove joycons was not important for me so no drawback to this unit.

Perfect gift for my son. Light weight. Works great. Long battery life.

Good handheld game for time pass. Good size screen and battery time is fine too.

My daughter absolutely loves playing on her switch. I recommend getting the online play, you can download games right to the device and never have to worry about losing the cartridge. Additionally, Nintendo gives parents the ability to monitor and control the content on the switch right from an app on your phone. I can set a time on which days the switch will deactivate until morning for bed time.

Thought that child would prefer larger model and screen. However, this fits better and a great starter model. Child quickly learned how to utilize games and features without assistance from parents.

Great for gaming on the go. Really like the blue color.

Switch Lite is great for a portable console. Better than the original.

I've owned many handheld consoles over the years: GBA, DS, 3DS, PSP, and PS Vita. By far, Switch Lite takes the cake. The screen is large enough to display the details, though if your eyesight is less than perfect, you may have to squint on a few of the text-heavy games that were not designed with a small screen in mind (so far, I've tried several games with no real issues). The resolution and color vibrancy is just beautiful, sound is great, load times are minimal, battery life is impressive, and it's actually quite comfortable to hold for hours on end, even for someone with small hands like me! Beyond the hardware, Nintendo's library for the Switch is on par with Sony and Microsoft's offerings, which is a nice improvement over previous systems. Add to that the classic titles that Nintendo is known for, and you just can't beat it. Absolutely recommended!!

My 3-year-old and 5-year-old absolutely love this. The battery life is surprisingly very good. I would purchase this for kids over the OLED model every time.

My daughter loves it. It's smaller than the regular Switch so it fits well in her hands. It doesn't fit in the standard Switch dock so you have to charge it with a cord but it's really not a big issue. I wish digital download games can be shared within our family so now I know to just buy the physical games and not the digital downloads.

My daughter loves this! It’s just right for her age (7yo). Over a year later, and everything still works.

I bought this refurbished switch lite two years ago. To this day, it has held up nicely and the battery charge is still excellent throughout the day! I definitely recommend buying a refurbished switch lite!

Awesome gift! My son loves it! Stays charged, I am thinking about buying one for myself lol

I really love the lite. I have the regular switch but this is so light weight and portable.

Fun to place and looks nice with good graphics. Woukd definitely purchase again
