Watching someone take a Nintendo Switch apart is weirdly satisfying

There's a lot going on in a very small amount of space.

Nintendo's new Switch console is officially something you can buy now, and the iFixit team has already ripped its guts out.

Turns out, Nintendo crammed a whole mess of things into a very tiny space. We'll eventually get a closer look at how each piece fits together and what it does, but this broad overview shows you -- in general terms -- how the Switch can come apart, piece by piece.

Not just the Switch, either. The iFixit crew also tears into the Joy-Con Controllers and the dock that funnels Switch video to your TV.

The 3-minute teardown offers an illuminating glimpse into the technology powering the Switch. It's also very chill and relaxing to watch the various bits and pieces pop out with ease.
