Nintendo Switch - Home Edition

The Nintendo Switch - Home Edition is an updated and upgraded version of the Nintendo Switch. It is considered to be a legit home console rather than a plug-and-play tablet.
==History==
The original Nintendo Switch was released worldwide on March 3, 2017. Even at launch, various games, especially The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, began experiencing frame rate issues as the NVIDIA Tegra X1 chip could only handle so much complex 3D open world environments. The Switch had easily began selling out during the time of launch, putting an excessive amount of pressure on the manufacturers to restock the shelves of various outlet affiliates, which took several months to do.
On September 20, 2019, the Nintendo Switch Lite was released, bearing an updated Tegra X1+ chip, but was designed only to be handheld and not to connect with any TV of some source. The OLED model released on October 8, 2021, using the same Tegra X1+ chip the Lite model beared. Still, as future releases hit the market, there were frame rate drops in various titles.
Feeling that the specifications were not strong enough to run the games properly, Nintendo needed to act swiftly, and the company came up with a consensus; release a TV-only compatible console rather than a tablet that could handle so much. With the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series rivaling the market, it was up to Nintendo to see if the Home Edition of the Switch, featuring newly upgraded specifications, would pan out properly to resolve those technical woes.
==Design==
The Nintendo Switch - Home Edition bears a sleek monolithic design in the shape of a rectangular prism, somewhat reminiscent of the design an Xbox Series X has on hand. According to a source via Nintendo, the console was designed from the inside out. A dual channel heatsink with cryogenic thermal paste covers both the CPU and GPU to provide maximum cooling effort. A vapor chamber in the rear of the motherboard helps repel dust and other redundant particles to ensure maximum stability and cooling. The heatsink absorbs air from the lower portion of the console, while a specialized axial tech fan blows the air out from the top of the console, ensuring the the console remains cool and quiet during gameplay sessions. All connector ports, including the USB and HDMI ports, are forged out of 24-karat gold, which are resistant to corrosion and have better connection to all applications.
