IGN review sounds more negative to me, only the screen gets any real praise

Good ahead :p

Your tone makes me feel a bit uneasy. As if you wanted to encourage me to do something which then gives you justification to ban me again.

Don't worry about it, I'm sure your thread will be just fine but don't blame me if it gets locked or something :p

I would say a score of 50 is pretty negative as well, but I'm just following Metacritic's scoring method which seems to be

~75+ = Good
50-70 = Mixed
<50 = Negative

Looks like you only readed until the 2nd review where they say

"Those seeking more than a Zelda machine can wait a bit, but the rest should grab a preorder while they last"

But totally ignoring the part where they suggest this could be the best Nintendo machine to date and the part where they valorate the hardware as "great", you take a criticisms about the launch line up as a critique about the whole console.

I dunno if this one would fit in here, since he doesn't score it and is a youtuber, but ProJared is one of the few I trust when it comes to game reviews and he's done one, sooo.... here is his video if you wanna add it in there somehow.

I can't help but think that Nintendo kind of missed the boat by not having a bunch of non-gaming apps ready at launch. If it had at least some of the functionality of a standard tablet, I think it would be much more attractive to the casual user.

And they really need to address that sync issue. Watching that video could easily convince someone that the Switch is not ready. Nintendo should have been all over this as soon as it was mentioned.
