I'm willing to pay € 400 if the Pro is really significantly more powerful than the first Switch. And for that I demand:
- A 1080p Screen
- A slightly bigger screen than the original Switch's
- A significant boost in processing power, I'd say at the very least 1.8 Tflops which is how powerful the first PS4 was back in 2013
- A better architecture allowing for the system to heat less and last longer in portable mode (At least as much as the new Switch releasing in August 2019)
- At least 128 GB of internal memory cause 32 GB was laughable in my opinion and honestly 128 GB is not exactly ground breaking but I'd settle for that
- The joy con drift issue MUST be fixed
So I don't think I'll be buying the Pro cause I don't think Nintendo will address all these issues and make a Pro that is worthy of the name, but on the off-chance that I'm wrong, I will then get a Pro and I don't mind paying a premium price for a truly better system.

More like can't address.
1.8T Flops is out of order for current technology levels. Even the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8cn, which is strictly intended for laptops and convertible tablets, doesn't even reach half as much power. You would need an RX Vega 11 to reach 1.8 TFlops
This chip can reach 1.8 TFlops. Look at it's TDP: it's rated as 35-54W, way outside the bounds of a handheld. It could be used in a gaming laptop, but even an ultrathin wouldn't have enough cooling for it. So you can also forget about the heating and the battery life extension with that.
As for the other points, the slightly bigger 1080p screen could be done. I don't see the point since few games will make use of it. But if movies would come to the Switch, then I would definitely agree on this. The 128GB internal memory is something I'm awaiting too. I was actually expecting a model to come out with that amount of storage while the base model we have now would have been dropped by $50 in price - but that was before the reveal of the Lite and new battery model.
As for the Joycon drift, I'm sure that the new models will get that issue fixed. Free repairs are also expensive for Nintendo, after all.
