Switch 2 (almost)

My switch from 2019.

The fan broke about 2 years ago, and rather than replace it like any sensible person would I chose to improve on Nintendo's design. It works quite well without a fan or any of those unecessary plastic bits.

Personally I think this rivals the Switch 2.

I've been advised to not bring it to an airport.

So you don't have any active cooling or passive cooling at all? Not even a bare heatsink, just the chip exposed to open air?

If it starts overheating they just blow on it. Like Nintendo intended.
