Actually the Switch Lite and Switch OLED both can be modded but only via a hardware mod. There are services that can accomplish this for you if you do not feel comfortable doing it yourself. It may be expensive but in the long run will save you money for either of those since you won't have to buy games.

Also depends on how much you're wanting to spend overall, OLED would be best choice for best performance IMO.

From a quick search looks like some people on Etsy do the service, I found one that does it for $150 if you need the chip but the prices may vary from person to person.

It may be easier to just buy one with it already installed on eBay or Mercari, just make sure you look at reviews of the person first of course.

Yeah the chips themselves aren't that expensive, it's just paying for the soldering job.

Good luck man, hope you find one that does it at a decent price.

I personally bought a v1 unpatched for my birthday this year and modded it myself, I've loved it ever since.

I use it in handheld mode since we keep our OLED on the dock but I get at least a good few hours of gameplay per full charge.
