You are forgetting what makes the Switch special - it's a handheld and a console. I focused on just the SoC improvements in my first post - but remember a Switch Pro model would be better in other ways. How about a 7" OLED 1080p panel - a MASSIVE upgrade over the 6.5" 720p LCD in the base Switch, and completely doable from a price-point perspective in a $399 model.
As a current Switch owner, I would be tempted to upgrade based on a bigger 1080p OLED panel alone, even with the same processing power lol
Perhaps better sounding stereo speakers? Stronger HD rumble? Heck, maybe even built-in 4G LTE? Lots of routes Nintendo could take that would make it worthwhile to hardcore gamers, on top of a SoC power increase.

That's completely unreasonable. You ain't getting a 1080p screen until the switch 2. The most that could be expected for a hypothetical switch plus is a tegra x2 instead of x1, allowing most games to run in 1080p docked and 720p docked. It would also cost $299 at launch.

1080p panel costs dick all, I wouldn't actually be surprised if Nintendo really gets little/no cost savings with a 720p screen because 720p screens are actually more rare these days. Even rinky dink cheap ass budget phones these days have 1080p screens.
But a 1080p screen doesn't come close to justifying a $100 unit premium.
