Sure, here’s a reimagined version of that article:
Okay, so the Nintendo Switch 2. Yeah, it’s barely out and some brave souls are already ripping it apart. There’s this wild YouTube channel, ProModding. They’ve gone all surgical on the thing, just peeling it open. You know, Nvidia chip and all these intricate circuits—like a tech autopsy or something.
Anyway, the start’s kinda basic, right? You got screws at the bottom and behind that little kickstand (which, who even uses that?). Oh, and on those colorful covers where you attach the Joy-Cons. Pop those screws and clips off, and bam, the back cover is history. Weirdly satisfying. Or maybe that’s just me?
There’s this metal shield situation. ProModding tossed it aside after dealing with a few more screws and those pesky antennae. I’ve always wondered, do they make these things tricky just to mess with us?
Then there’s the cooler, which I didn’t know was there (surprise!). Out goes the battery and voila, out pops the motherboard. More metal to pry off, thermal paste in the way—but they got to that shiny new Nvidia chip. GMLX30-A1 it says. I can almost hear conspiracy theorists cheering.
Oh, if chips are your thing, ProModder’s got you. They went all microscopic on every single IC. And here I thought only mad scientists used microscopes.
All these screws and whatnot make it seem like a breeze, sort of. But seriously, don’t try this at home. Nintendo’s got this updated agreement—if you mess with their tech, they might turn your console into a fancy paperweight. Yikes.
Nintendo techs probably have secret manuals or something. But hey, until it officially launches tomorrow, June 5, we’ll just let the YouTubers break it down. Literally.
By the way, if staying in the loop is your jam, Tom’s Hardware on Google News is a pretty solid spot for updates. Just hit that Follow.
So there it is. All tangled, quirky, and quite human.
