  • And now for the moment we've all been waiting for...the internal reveal. It's finally happening!

  • It... looks like a computer! Battery, heatpipe, thermal paste, fan. It's all there.

  • The Switch's priorities are pretty clearly battery and cooling.

  • By the looks of that purple blob, this metal plate is more than structural support. It's also a heat sink that channels heat from the heat pipe to the rear case.

  • This should diffuse the heat, preventing hot spots that could melt plastic or burn your fingers.
