Key Takeaways

7-inch OLED makes handheld and tabletop play clearly richer than the LCD Switch.

Wide adjustable kickstand makes tabletop mode practical.

Same Tegra performance as prior Switch: no resolution or frame-rate boost.

Docked TV play still tops out at 1080p/60 fps with no meaningful upgrade.

Joy-Cons are unchanged, so stick drift remains a known ownership risk.
