    While it works, the build quality could be better for the price. The plastic feels cheap and flimsy and can break if dropped at even 30 cm height.

    The only downside to this is it doesn't hook up to the TV through a docking station like the original switch. I bought this for my step son an he absolutely loves it an plays it 24/7.

    The TV feature is definitely worth it, and you'll have removable controllers which you can connect to your friends system with as the Lite is unable to do that. $140 value imo.

    Not sure if it's the way I play or this device just has a battery that drains quickly. 3 hours of continuous game play just cuts the excitement abruptly. Your mileage may vary.

    My boys now each have a Switch and a Switch Lite. Not sure why they need both, they were gifts. Make sure you get the Geek Squad Warranty, those buttons don't last for ever.

    The device is not durable and easy to break. The children like it. Parental controls are limited to times but it is not possible to block downloading specific games.

    My child didn't have this a year and he snagged the joy con and it broke off. It worked great before that happened but now he doesn't have a switch to play with.

    I can’t possibly review the switch light because the item was lost. I had to do all the legwork to find out that it was lost so it was very disappointing
