It's official names is Nintendo " Un Switch" Switch version that cannot Switch into docking mode, It's the same like Nintendo 2DS basically, a 3DS version that cannot do 3D. it's just Nintendo being Nintendo.

Actually i prefer this device compared to Nintendo Switch, since i got Vita, PSP and Gameboy Advance vibe esque from it's design and focus on pure handled powerhouse with no gimmick . This lite version just shows and confirm that Switch is really a handheld device since day one. Because by spec wise it is a handled . Even though it can upscale and connect to TV it's just a handled with a function to play on the monitor.

I think like it already , but i just wished they include at least the rumble feature with gyro and accelerometer. I do love how they are now replace the d-pad with real D- Pad because now it cannot detach , and only function as solely for d-pad. The batteries though it's not that different only increase 1 hours, i want at least 4/5 to 9 hours battery life, since it focus for mobile only. everything else is good and decent looking forward for this.

EDIT: I think one for sure, Nintendo Officially kill the 3DS/2DS family. Welcome the new handled king by default 

Probably the dedicated home console of Switch  would fit for the "pro" version. But i wonder how powerful it might be. Probably it will able to play the games on 1080p at 60 fps or even 4k but with the same graphic features. But with sacrifice of being " handled " . LOL if it's true that would be hilarious 

Good point buttercup, I'm sure you know all the details for all the technology the Switch.

Could a 4K hybrid device like a supposed Switch Pro cost at a reasonable price? If the PS5 and Xbox Scarlet are what they are rumored/confirmed to be, they could be in the $400-500 price range. I don't suspect a 4K device that can be taken on the go or played on a TV could cost less than $300 (or even $350) unless Nintendo is willing to sell at a loss, in which I doubt they would be, just to sell a console. If they ensured that the OG Switch would not sell at a loss, I am not sure if they are willing to steer away from that.

Seems like a great way for Nintendo to send the 3DS off and give everyone a damn good new portable to use. Gonna sell gangbusters.

It actually makes no sense for the Lite to have docking features. Not sure why people are acting surprised that it doesn't.

Say the Lite did have the ability to dock, you'd still have to buy a dock ($60-80 bucks) and either joy cons or a pro controller ($70-80). You're better off just buying the flagship system.

Nintendo is creating distinct markets for each device, the Lite is for the Pokemon/AC crowd that will play those games and probably put it in the garage somewhere afterwards. The flagship is for more serious gamers and for casuals that want to play Smash, MK, Mario Party etc; locally with their friends.

The chip is more efficient, spends less battery and heat less. Seems the battery might even be smaller, both in size and miliampere Hour...

All major handhelds and their launch prices adjusted for inflation (US launch dates).

Given the Switch has dual functionality it appears leveraging the inflation data, the Switch in fact is in alignment. Shocking.

It could be like the original , a " hybrid" but  the batteries will be one hours and half, the spec will not that great and the size will be bigger than this (to accommodate slightly bigger CPU/GPU and cooling )  . From  what i see with how the lite version ended up with , it's safe to say the "pro" version will end up sacrifice some feature to get other feature. The reason why Switch able to be mobile because it has an old spec that can be considered low end and require less power tdp. Having powerful Switch version will make even power hungry , more bigger size and more expensive. By eliminating the the "hybrid " feature or the "handled " feature, Nintendo can go with higher spec for the pro version without worrying batteries, size, and price.
