The biggest selling point for the new Nintendo Switch was its beautiful OLED screen. But a teardown of the device by iFixit reveals there’s way more to the updated console than Nintendo had advertised.

The improvements begin on the outside of the device. The first is obvious—a new kickstand that covers the Switch’s entire back. Gone is the wimpy slice of the original model that could barely hold up the device. Next are better designed slide rails so that the Joy-Cons are more secure and wobble less. It’s not a fix for Joy-Con drift, but it’s a welcome change.
