not the switch pro ppl believed and 50 more expensive than the base model I'm sure some are disappointed but I think I will get this and give my old switch to my gf who wants her own switch for animal crossing

I've always maintained that the best way to go about mid-gen upgrade for the Switch is a stand-alone ProDock you can purchase that's compatible with all Switch models. This allows you to tap into a potential 85M+ user-base as opposed to starting from scratch. 

With Switch OLED reveal, further cements my view that a supplementary computing device that can "upgrade" all existing Switch SKUs is the best way to go in terms of a mid-gen refresh

Is this technically feasible? From what I recall the dock port is not fast enough to act as an extension of internal hardware, only as an upscale. Still something that can be marketed but not something that could improve fps or actual resolution/graphics. Maybe someone more informed could elaborate.

But for sure I think external add ons are the future of mid gen upgrades
