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.
