Honestly the biggest benefit here would be bringing down production costs by moving to a smaller fabrication process, as it gives them room for a price drop without cutting into their profit margins.

It's selling great at $300 for now, but reducing cost over time is essential for any system to maximize sales over a long lifespan.

Smaller Design without the joycons being removeable things (fused into the design),
no need to add a fan,
cheaper chip shrunk down to 16nm,
not sold with a dock.

They could probably sell it 100$ cheaper than current model.

It would just be a Switch focused at the handheld segment, and it would have vastly better battery life.

I think theres a market for such a device.

*edit:
Think these are useing the same old 20nm chips as the current Switch models.
Sadly that rumor of 16nm, either isnt true, or Nintendo decided to not make use of these chips now, and are waiting a year or two before doing so.

Maybe theres a "new Switch Lite" next year, with 16nm?
