Broken ports, replace hard drive, replace memory, no software locks so custom software can keep it alive, replace battery (on a Switch for example).

Lots of thing right to repair could do for consoles.

I would hope that the Switch falls under "Tablets". Because that's exactly what it is.

A fat and weirdly shaped tablet, but I agree. I can do "switch" stuff by putting on an Abxylute or a Gamesir controller on a tablet.
