    Did you see that? Oh, it's the box.

    Segment details0:10–0:13 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_0
  2. 0:16

    Wow, this knife's sharp. Switch.

    Segment details0:16–0:20 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_1
  3. 0:33

    OLED. Wow, it's pretty heavy.

    Segment details0:33–0:34 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_2
  4. 0:38

    What's inside the box? Nothing. Okay, so this is the main box.

    Segment details0:38–0:47 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_3
  5. 0:51

    Oh look, there's stuff on the back. Tabletop mode. Oh yeah, it's got this fancy kickstand now, and it comes with the dock thing so you can plug it into the TV. Oh,

    Segment details0:51–1:01 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_4
  6. 1:05

    it comes with this as well. Very generous of Nintendo.

    Segment details1:05–1:09 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_5
  7. 1:12

    What's that thing here? How do I open it?

    Segment details1:12–1:15 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_6
  8. 1:27

    Oh, this is the Switch. That's it. Oh my God, it's so thin. For some reason I thought it'd be thicker.

    Segment details1:27–1:36 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_7
  9. 1:38

    So the cool thing about the Switch OLED compared to the Steam Deck is you can detach the controllers and you just have the screen. It looks like a phone.

    Segment details1:38–1:49 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_8
  10. 1:51

    That's so weird like that.

    Segment details1:51–1:52 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_9
  11. 1:54

    It doesn't look like a Switch, it looks like a phone or a tablet.

    Segment details1:54–1:57 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_10
  12. 2:07

    Yeah, it's interesting cuz you don't actually need the controllers plugged in. Okay, so that is the main bit, the the Switch OLED. Let me compare it to the Switch Lite. Wow, that is big! Whoa,

    Segment details2:07–2:19 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_11
  13. 2:21

    that is big compared to the Switch Lite screen. It's huge.

    Segment details2:21–2:26 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_12
  14. 2:36

    And then we have the

    Segment details2:36–2:37 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_13
  15. 2:42

    Joy-Con. Smells like plastic.

    Segment details2:42–2:45 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_14
  16. 2:52

    Joy-Con number 2.

    Segment details2:52–2:53 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_15
  17. 2:56

    This reminds me when I had the original Switch and I bought this custom white housing, and then me and my dad unscrewed it, and then it took ages to screw it back together. It was really difficult.

    Segment details2:56–3:07 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_16
  18. 3:09

    It looks pretty nice to have the white housing, and then I sold it online because I didn't want it anymore, and then I bought a Switch Lite. So I sold the original Switch, bought another Switch, now bought a third Switch when I don't even like Nintendo games, to be honest.

    Segment details3:09–3:24 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_17
  19. 3:27

    What else do they give you?

    Segment details3:27–3:28 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_18
  20. 3:33

    Oh, this is the dock for the TV. If I'm going traveling, I'm not sure if I'd bring this because— well, I would have a TV in hotels, wouldn't I?

    Segment details3:33–3:46 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_19
  21. 3:49

    Would I bring the dock?

    Segment details3:49–3:50 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_20
  22. 3:52

    Hmm.

    Segment details3:52–3:53 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_21
  23. 3:56

    It is quite heavy and bulky. But it turns it into a proper console. I don't like the way when it's in the dock it moves like that. That feels not good because it's plugged into like a USB-C at the bottom.

    Segment details3:56–4:11 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_22
  24. 4:13

    I don't really want it to be moving around like that.

    Segment details4:13–4:15 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_23
  25. 4:18

    Not great design.

    Segment details4:18–4:19 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_24
  26. 4:24

    That sounds not good when you put it down. It should fit in snugly and then stay in place.

    Segment details4:24–4:30 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_25
  27. 4:34

    Then you've got— what's this?

    Segment details4:34–4:36 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_26
  28. 4:40

    HDMI to HDMI, very useful for TVs. Then you've got the power charger.

    Segment details4:40–4:50 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_27
  29. 4:55

    Oh nice, another USB-C charger. Nice to have lots of those.

    Segment details4:55–5:01 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_28
  30. 5:11

    And then the control pad.

    Segment details5:11–5:13 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_29
  31. 5:15

    I've actually got a Switch Pro Controller. I just remembered, where is it?

    Segment details5:15–5:22 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_30
  32. 5:26

    I bought one of these braces as well, so I could put it in here.

    Segment details5:26–5:31 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_31
  33. 5:39

    I tried putting the Steam Deck in this, it would not fit. Okay, that feels pretty good. That feels quite nice.

    Segment details5:39–5:46 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_32
  34. 5:51

    It's quite nice actually like that. This feels so much better than using the Joy-Cons. I need to try the Joy-Cons first, I haven't plugged them in yet.

    Segment details5:51–6:01 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_33
  35. 6:06

    Just feels interesting. It does look really nice. Look at that.

    Segment details6:06–6:13 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_34
  36. 6:17

    And the kickstand— whoa, look at the kickstand! Oh, that kickstand is really nice.

    Segment details6:17–6:22 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_35
  37. 6:24

    It's like the Microsoft Surface tablets. Whoa, it goes all the way back like that. It bends so far backwards. It has a nice click as well.

    Segment details6:24–6:34 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_36
  38. 6:37

    And you also get

    Segment details6:37–6:38 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_37
  39. 6:41

    Oh, little bumper things for the Joy-Cons if you detach them.

    Segment details6:41–6:44 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_38
  40. 6:48

    So you could

    Segment details6:48–6:49 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_39
  41. 6:51

    put it like this, like that.

    Segment details6:51–6:54 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_40
  42. 7:08

    You could have it here on some kind of surface

    Segment details7:08–7:12 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_41
  43. 7:15

    and then slot these in here.

    Segment details7:15–7:17 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_42
  44. 7:20

    This is so weird, it's like a square. This feels strange.

    Segment details7:20–7:25 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_43
  45. 7:28

    I would definitely use the Pro Controller over that.

    Segment details7:28–7:31 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_44
  46. 7:41

    I don't know if I'd ever used it like this because the screen is kind of small to have it propped up on a surface. You would want it in your hands close to your face, wouldn't you?

    Segment details7:41–7:51 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_45
  47. 7:59

    It feels really nice.

    Segment details7:59–8:00 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_46
  48. 8:05

    I don't know if I'd say it feels better than the Steam Deck. We're going to have to do some comparisons.

    Segment details8:05–8:09 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_47
  49. 8:13

    Okay, we got the Steam Deck, Switch OLED, and the Switch Lite.

    Segment details8:13–8:19 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_48
  50. 8:22

    Move over here.

    Segment details8:22–8:23 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_49
  51. 8:26

    Which one do you like more?

    Segment details8:26–8:28 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_50
  52. 8:39

    My back hurts, too much hunching. Wow, look at the comparison between the Switch OLED. Oh my God. The Switch OLED screen is the same size as

    Segment details8:39–8:52 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_51
  53. 8:56

    the Steam Deck, quite literally,

    Segment details8:56–8:59 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_52
  54. 9:05

    but it doesn't have those massive chunky controller things like the Steam Deck has, so it's way smaller. Wow, the Steam Deck feels huge compared to the Switch OLED. And compared to Switch Lite, wow, they both feel small. I mean, they both smell— they both feel massive. They both smell—

    Segment details9:05–9:27 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_53
  55. 9:30

    speaking is hard sometimes. I want to take off the screen.

    Segment details9:30–9:34 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_54
  56. 9:36

    See, Steam Deck can't do this, can it, and just become a little standalone

    Segment details9:36–9:42 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_55
  57. 9:45

    Phone. Look at the screen. Look, it fits exactly inside of the Steam Deck. It's the same size as the Steam Deck screen.

    Segment details9:45–9:52 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_56
  58. 9:55

    Now I wonder which screen is better quality, because this is OLED, but what is the Steam Deck?

    Segment details9:55–10:01 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_57
  59. 10:06

    I wonder if it has a screen protector. I'm a bit scared. I think it does. No, it doesn't. Why don't companies put screen protectors on the products by default? Like Samsung puts screen protectors on their phones. You don't have to buy one.

    Segment details10:06–10:24 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_58
  60. 10:35

    Okay, let's switch on the— no, first I want to do more comparisons.

    Segment details10:35–10:39 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_59
  61. 10:41

    Look at the Steam Deck.

    Segment details10:41–10:42 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_60
  62. 10:45

    They both have fan vents.

    Segment details10:45–10:47 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_61
  63. 10:49

    Steam Deck is so much heavier, my, my hand is trembling from the weight. See, not fake.

    Segment details10:49–10:57 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_62
  64. 11:03

    Wow, look! I think design-wise the Switch OLED looks way better. I love the white and the black, and I love the little stand.

    Segment details11:03–11:12 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_63
  65. 11:16

    It feels really nice, although I don't really see myself using it.

    Segment details11:16–11:20 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_64
  66. 11:25

    Does Nintendo have a web browser? Probably not. I don't think they do. It's covered in smudges already.

    Segment details11:25–11:32 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_65
  67. 11:39

    It feels way lighter than the Steam Deck. Steam Deck? I never really liked holding the Steam Deck, although the grips are quite nice to wrap your fingers around. I just, I don't know, something— the triggers feel a lot nicer on the Steam Deck. The triggers are pretty tiny on the Switch.

    Segment details11:39–12:02 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_66
  68. 12:04

    Yeah, there's definitely less controller to wrap your hands around.

    Segment details12:04–12:08 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_67
  69. 12:12

    Clicky thumbstick.

  70. 12:20

    Hmm, I think the Steam Deck feels a bit better,

    Segment details12:20–12:22 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_69
  71. 12:25

    and the buttons feel better on the Steam Deck.

    Segment details12:25–12:29 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_70
  72. 12:32

    The buttons just feel kind of small on the Switch OLED.

    Segment details12:32–12:35 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_71
  73. 12:38

    Switch Lite feels, feels like a toy.

  74. 12:47

    Okay, switch on the Switch,

    Segment details12:47–12:50 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_73
  75. 12:53

    or I could put it into the dock like this. But I have one question: can you plug the Switch OLED into a monitor with HDMI? So I could try plugging into my monitor.

    Segment details12:53–13:08 · rev_9e387390cce2d61fdc271e9ed8c5e696_74
  76. 13:13

    I don't think it matters because when am I gonna have a monitor just lying around? Hmm.
