Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Nothing to regret, it has a form factor that I’ll sorely miss going forward :( I’ll never get rid of mine.
  • Since they’re so young I’d almost say you should get them the Lite version, which is cheaper although you can’t use it on the TV.
  • while true, i just bought a switch lite and loaded it during sales with dozens of games that will last me a lifetime
  • A Switch Lite can do everything a Normal switch can, EXCEPT dock to a TV. ... If you only planned on using it as a handheld console. It would be a good move.
  • But for simplicity, the switch lite would be a good option.

Cons

  • The Switch Lite is a handheld only unit and cannot be docked to a TV, So unless you wanted to buy one for each kid, it would be very difficult to share.
  • Parent context: The switch I have is a switch lite if that makes a differwnce Reply: If your system can no longer read game carts, then the reader would need to be replaced. Nintendo could repair it or you could try it yourself.
  • my daughter was trying to play animal crossing, I was trying to play tears of the kingdom, my son was trying to play breath of the wild, and my other son was trying to play plants vs, zombies - and we could not lol it kept booting one pe...
  • It has some scratches on the screen which aren't terrible but they're annoying/difficult to ignore since they're even more visible while playing games, also a crack in the home button.
  • I feel like the Switch lite would be too small, so the regular units.

my daughter was trying to play animal crossing, I was trying to play tears of the kingdom, my son was trying to play breath of the wild, and my other son was trying to play plants vs, zombies - and we could not lol it kept booting one person and telling someone to unlink or link and it ejected all the virtual games

I got my boys a couple switch lites for a Christmas so they can start playing some games at the same time and so that I can join in with them sometimes.
