      I wasn’t talking about the repairability score. I was talking about the title of this article stating that it’s “harder” to repair than the Switch 1.

        Yeah, it is harder to do. Specifically

        • you need to remove stickers in a way that you can replace them, if you want to keep them looking good
        • You need to undo glue, iFixit used isopropyl alcohol and force
        • Once you’re in its fairly easy to replace parts, but Nintendo don’t supply parts
        • Batteries are glued down, you need to destroy the foam beneath them to get the batteries out, Nintendo don’t sell replacement foam, or even a specification for the foam

        By being harder it will be more costly to repair

        The article is clickbaity and a bit crappy. The repair guide is not.

        Welcome to the modern gaming press, I suppose.
