    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.
