I doubt it. To quote RMS:
> As for microwave ovens and other appliances, if updating software is not a normal part of use of the device, then it is not a computer. In that case, I think the user need not take cognizance of whether the device contains a processor and software, or is built some other way. However, if it has an "update firmware" button, that means installing different software is a normal part of use, so it is a computer.
The Switch does have an "update firmware" function, in addition to being able to install software (games) from the internet or from physical media, so it definitely counts as a computer under this definition.
