Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

There are no cons and no pros, just someone might find it useful:
The set-top box has active cooling, i. E. a fan spins inside, over time it can become clogged with dust. And because there are many large holes on it, then the prefix must be used carefully so that sand or drops of water do not get there. Also, over time, the fastening of the joycons will most likely loosen because you often take them out of the console.
Some games, even bought on a cartridge, require installation in internal memory or a memory card and take up several gigabytes, but there don’t seem to be many of them. It is enough to insert a 64GB card. For this reason, I advise you to buy games on cartridges, and not digital versions (they cost the same), because. they will take up even more space and you will have to buy several memory cards or large ones of 256GB and above. And in general, it's nice to have a boxed version of the game in the collection, and you can also change them.

Summing up, I can only recommend buying if you already have some other platform (PS4 / PC / Xbox one), and you want something else and are ready to spend 4000 on games. Otherwise, better if you need a pocket set-top box, better take a PS Vita or 3DS, you will get no less pleasure.

Pros

+ There are some good games. So far I've bought Zelda and Skyrim and these games should last a long time. There is also Doom, LA Noir and a couple of other games ported from other consoles. As for the rest of the games, they are specific, designed mainly for a children's audience, as well as fans of Japanese games, and if you are used to games on a PC or Playstation / Xbox, then Nintendo games may not be of interest to you, I tried - somehow not hooked, although you might like it, so check the reviews before buying. + Graphics. There are no complaints here, of course it is inferior to other platforms, but everything is fine on a small screen, and when connected to a TV it is quite normal, somewhere between PS3 and PS4. + Management. It is quite convenient, there is also a special mount for joycons in the kit, which turns them into an almost full-fledged gamepad in terms of convenience, but if you wish, you can buy a full-size gamepad with large buttons and sticks. + You can play in two on one screen, one of the main features of the switch. You can have fun with your friends. Comes with 2 joysticks. +Using microSD cards. Nintendo did not get smart and use expensive proprietary memory cards, like the PS Vita, this is a plus.

Cons

-Perhaps the main one is the price of games, they cost an average of 2 to 5 thousand, including indies. Someone may object, saying that on other consoles the games cost about the same. Yes, but only at the start, and in a month or two they can easily become cheaper by 2 or more times and you can buy games (including major hits) on PS4 at prices ranging from 500 to 2022. There are no such discounts on Nintendo, the maximum that you can count on is 20-30 percent, and then rarely and not at all. The price of indie games in general can differ by an order of magnitude. If on a PC or PS4 you can buy a game for 100-500, then on a switch it can easily cost 1000-2022 (regular indie game). -Small operating time. In demanding games like Zelda, it's 2.5, maximum 3 hours. On PS Vita, for example, at least 5 hours. -No internet browser. Yes, it is not required for a game console, but a useful thing, especially in this tablet format it would fit perfectly. -The set-top box is bulky and heavy, you can’t put it in your pocket like PS Vita or 3DS. Those. carry with you only in your bag. Weight is about 400g, which is 2 times more than PS Vita Slim. -Digital eshop. Inconvenient search for games, it's hard to find something. But I buy on cartridges, which I advise you. -Stand, it is absolutely not convenient and not practical. I don't know what the engineers were thinking when they created it. Well, at least there is and you can somehow put it on a flat surface, and that's okay.
