Upgrade paths

storage

microSDXC cards up to 2 TB (officially rated; larger cards may work depending on firmware) · microSD slot is on the top edge next to the game card slot, no disassembly required.

~$10-30 for a basic card at the time

EASY

battery

Stock 3570 mAh cell only, no larger official option · Requires opening the unibody shell (adhesive plus screws); not a user-serviceable design like the original Switch's joy-con rail approach, and voids warranty.

~$15-25 for a third-party replacement cell

HARD

other

No TV output, no detachable controllers, no HD rumble or IR camera · Fixed handheld form factor: control sticks and buttons are built into the unibody, and there is no dock, no HDMI, no kickstand. Games requiring detached Joy-Con motion controls (some multiplayer titles) are unplayable without a separate Joy-Con pair paired over Bluetooth.
