The Nintendo Switch Lite in Turquoise is a dedicated handheld that delivers the full Switch game library in a smaller, lighter package, but it omits TV output and detachable Joy-Cons.
The Nintendo Switch (Neon Blue/Red) is a hybrid console that can be used as a TV-connected system, tabletop device, or handheld. It offers detachable Joy-Cons, a solid library of first-party games, and decent battery life, though the LCD screen and Joy-Con durability are common pain points.
