i love it i finally was able to get another one after mine was stolen by some low life its even in better condition than my old one i love the feel of it just brings me back to my first purchase thank you best buy!

Every improvement the Switch Lite offers is matched by an equivalent drawback. As most other reviewers have indicated, the cheaper price point comes at the expense of docking ability and the rumble and motion control features of the joy con controllers. We knew that once the specs were announced. The Switch Lite was supposed to be offer a cheaper entry to the Switch platform aimed at players who are predisposed to use the system in handheld mode. Some of the lost features make perfect sense in this respect; a smaller screen size and form factor would necessitate permanently attaching the controllers, and docking ability could be omitted for a system that was designed with handheld use in mind. What's surprising about this model is how it solves some problems that plagued the OG Switch and introduces new ones the spec sheet didn't suggest: IMPROVEMENTS - Better display for handheld mode, simply because a smaller screen features greater pixel density at the same 720p resolution. Some players think the display panel is of slightly higher quality, but the difference is negligible. Battery life has been slightly improved. The standout improvement, however, has to be in the body build. The Switch Lite uses a rigid plastic chassis that doesn't squeak or do the banana bend like the regular Switch. The display is mounted inside the chassis too, rather than inserted into a frame like in the original Switch. Those of us who have had screens start to pop out of the body on the regular Switch will be overjoyed with the design of the Lite, which has a unibody style of construction keeping the screen safely where it should be. DOWNGRADES The controls, meaning the actual joysticks and buttons, are flimsy and audibly squeak when used. Those of us worried about joy con drift won't find any comfort in the design of the Switch Lite's sticks and buttons. The left thumbstick squeals when manipulated. The directional pad sits in a cavity noticeably larger than the button itself, making it slide uneasily when pushed. Even the input buttons on the right side feel wiggly, and they don't push into the device as smoothly as right joy con buttons do. Use the Switch Lite for a day and you'll be wondering when the sticks are going to pop off, and how much it'll cost for Nintendo to repair it. The speakers are a little on the weak side too, and their placement inevitably leads to users' hands muffling them. And this little guy gets HOT when playing resource-intensive games. The heat vents at the top of the device are smaller too, so the extra heat produced in the console interior has even less of a chance to escape. Will the Switch Lite eventually melt its own insides?? When the Lite was announced, all the technical tradeoffs for the lower price and the portable focus felt justified. The OG Switch is kind of uncomfortable in handheld mode, and prolonged handheld use can put a great big ol' bend in your Switch if you grip it too tightly. Gamers who wanted a better portable model had every reason to be excited by the Switch Lite. For the most part, the Lite model succeeds at what it was built to do - offer a better on the go Switch experience But the concerns posed by the fragile-feeling buttons and the rapid heatup of the device when in use leave me wondering how long this thing is going to last. Note to Nintendo - please make a Switch model that does not suffer from an alarming hardware problem.

Ordered online and was able to pick them up in less than 30 minutes and it was a quick easy in and out in less than 5 minutes.

My switch is still going strong, and it’s definitely worth the money. Get you one, your mom one, your brother, and ya kids.

I bought this not knowing you couldnt hook it to the tv. Amazing design like in terms of how it feels in the hand (honestly better than the oled) but not being able to dock it sucks. Cool for kids that dont want to sit infront of a tv but not being able to game on a tv was a big negative for me

My daughter loves it :) ahe just plays fornite since its free to download no memory card sold separately

When i bought this I was a lonely single beta man. Now that i have a nintendo switch, I get women left and right. They ask to play on my switch and many other things. I am not a lonely man anymore.

Pretty good device just needs more battery life but I get it

Nintendo Switch has good games. Getting Nintendo Switch was a must have for me because of the games.

Great fun highly recommend this product lots of fun games to choose from and if you get a Nintendo account you can play all the super Nintendo original Nintendo and Nintendo 64 classics

The size is perfect. It still fits in your Pocket and still has a big screen. The graphics are excellent too.

Great gift for anyone! Would recommend! The switch lite makes a great starter console for anyone.

Loved this Switch Lite actually thinking of buying another for my daughter.

Nice Product! We purchased this same device a year ago and our granddaughter asked if we could buy it for her again.
