The SD card itself is defective - nothing to do with the Switch. It also seems to be frying in just about any devices... oh, including that venerated PC too

If you read the article it is the SD card. Its been confrimed to melt in a goPro, and laptops.
Its just the Switch is raising demand for 64+GB microSD cards.

Solution: Buy MicroSD cards from Micro Center and Samsung.

it depends on the person, for me, 500 dollar is a reasonable for a console, i know its not for everyone.

The Nintendo Switch is more powerful and a PC.

Interesting.  I have a SanDisk USB flash drive (tiny one that only sticks out of the port by the handle) and it also gets quite hot.

Are we going to ignore OP's post not being with the guidelines?

Yeah.  Consoles never have top-of-the-line hardware in them, but they're usually on par with some of the budget gaming laptops.

It also outperforms Samsung CPU 1800x

Sandisk have always been the worst flash card MFT.

They bait headlines with their "first X capacity" which they only get because they're the only ones with morals low enough to release shit to market 6 months before it's ready. As a professional photographer for 15 years I learned this much. Absolute last choice in SD cards.
