Not even this. It probably has a full-fledged browser pre-installed, making its classification as a general-purpose computer pretty obvious even for an average user, and far less "hackish" than otherwise.
- surgical_fire 2y agoNintendo Switch doesn't even have an easily accessible Internet browser. In fact, I was not even sure it had one. I had to look it up and found this: https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/how-to-use-hidden-nintendo-switch-browser/ https://www.digitaltrends.com/gaming/how-to-use-hidden-ninte... It would be difficult to make a case that the average user would see this as a general purpose computer.

- shkkmo 2y agoIt absolutely is a general purpose computer, one with it's capabilities hidden and restricted from the user.
- surgical_fire 2y agoIt is a general purpose computer, except the "general purpose" part has been hidden and restricted from the user. Therefore, not a "general purpose" computer anymore.
- shkkmo 2y agoIt is a general purpose computer running a specialized operating system. Something doesn't stop being a general purpose computer when you change the OS.
