Summary

He calls Nintendo’s October OLED Switch a £50/$50 screen-focused revision, not the expected Switch Pro or Switch 2. He finds the 7-inch 720p display, kickstand, speakers, and docked LAN inadequate, preferring his larger 11-inch iPad Pro. He recommends it only to first-time buyers, will not buy another Switch, and links minimal upgrades to record lockdown sales.

Insight

He prioritizes substantial utility gains over cosmetic upgrades, reinforcing reluctance to spend on marginal improvements.
