mine looks perfectly fine. Granted I mainly use it as a handheld.... I do have a bit of issue with some of these articles and gossip popping up where problems that appear to NOT necessarily be widespread are discussed as if they are

if millions of a system are being sold and you are only occasionally hearing about issues then that is the exception not the norm. Wouldn't be surprised if some batch of Switches was just slightly off in production rather than that design wise they're overheating. 

All I know is mine looks straight/flat when viewed from the side and overall it hasn't been heating up that much. Bear in mind that there are always going to be anamoly's with damaged parts in SOME small percentage of systems. 

TIme will tell but I highly doubt this is as common of an issue as, say, the Joycon receiver problems.

a part of me also has to wonder.... there's also going to be some people who are exceptions who play or use a device an insane amount straight and it naturally overheats and has an issue. Same as anything, same as driving a car for a huge extended trip across the continent- you might run into a problem from overuse but it doesn't necessarily suggest a flaw with the product itself.

 

From my experience the Switch has been insanely high quality. Doesn't really get that hot in handheld mode, feels good, looks great quality, nice screen (I've had like no scratching, seems solid as long as you're not someone dropping that shit all the time or holding your keys in your hand when you game), etc.
