Yes. I've been after a second Switch for a while but considering I do play docked more than handheld the Lite doesn't appeal as much. I'll grab the enhanced model then use the original as a backup / travel system.

Will you buy a enhanced Switch at launch?

I genuinely cannot remember the last time I turned on my Switch.
So to answer your question: yes.

If they cant convince hardcore fans to upgrade after 4/5 years to a more powerful system they did something wrong.
Not sure, it depends on how enhanced it is. I'm only really interested in the TV side of things, don't care about the handheld aspects.
Hoping they'll have some ergonomic/non-drfity 'Pro' joy-cons.
If it turned out to be a standalone Switch VR with Mario Kart VR at launch...I wouldn't hesitate.

Doubt I'd get it at launch, but maybe shortly after if it has stuff that will noticeably improve my time with it. I'd probably sell my Lite in that case and use my regular Switch as my portable one.
I mean we don't know if it is a Pro after all. If it is I will try to get one. If not then probably not at launch
I'm going to see what new releases they bring with it before committing. Also how far of a leap the new hardware goes beyond the regular Switch.
I always wanted to try out the hardware hacks on my old Switch but I wanted to avoid any issues if I made any mistakes hacking it.
I'm really looking forward to getting two upgrades.

This, if it run a better version of the first BOTW and the price will be appropriate then I'll highly consider it, right now we have no data to answer the poll...
I'd like one, but the global chip shortages and the pandemic might have other plans. We'll see, but right now I'm expecting the Switch revision to have even worse scalping issues than the current Microsoft and Sony consoles.
Unless there's exclusives to that version that I want and can't get on another platform, I'm likely keeping my launch Switch for awhile. Never upgraded my launch DS or 3DS either.
Like, if BOTW2 is an exclusive I'll pick it up, but if BOTW2 simply runs better I won't.

I'm unsure at this point. Already have a launch Switch and a Switch Lite. Other than playing Monster Hunter Rise I've not used them a ton the past year or so, and even that I'm still early in as XSX and PS5 games get most of my attention.
If I got one I'd probably just trade/Sale both my Switch and Switch Lite as then I wouldn't mind the upgrade even if I don't end up using it more than I have been my current ones. I also worry not enough enough games will take advantage of the extra power, like the New 3DS never ended up feeling like it was worth the upgrade. The Switch Lite is way more comfortable in handheld mode, but I could go back to dealing with the full size one to knock the upgrade cost down.
But if I can offset most of the cost via selling/trading my current ones it may be worth it. Though a wrinkle there is my launch Switch has some minor damage from a drop. Spot on screen that is a bit white in some scenes and broken plastic around the fan. Works 100% fine docked and mostly fine portable as that screen spot isn't very distracting usually.
In any case, I'll probably be in wait and see mode and see how much better the screen and battery life are and how big the performance boost is in things like BOTW2 as frame drops bugged me in the first and whether there's a boost for existing games like Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity as I've held off on that as the drops in the demo were terrible.
Definitely zero interest in putting in the time to hunt one down if there's not an easy preorder opportunity. If there is a preorder wave announced well in advance I may give it a try since it will likely be hard to find for a while. Though I doubt it will be as bad as the Switch Launch window or the PS5 or XSX currently as the mid gen refresh consoles, New 3DS etc. weren't nearly as difficult to find as upgrade demand isn't as high as new console demand. Though I'm sure this will be worse than past ones with less supply due to the chip, capacitor etc. shortages.

If I can score a pre-order, then absolutely yes. I don't really use my OG hybrid unit for handheld play much anymore since I got a Lite. It'll be great to shift my OG to my downstairs 720p TV as a purely Ring Fit focused machine, then have a really slick version for my nice 4K TV upstairs.
Absolutely. Switch is one of my favourite consoles ever and playing Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity convinced m it was time for a much needed upgrade.
Was waiting for this announcement for over an year, withholding my purchase because of all the rumours. Can't wait to get my hands on it finally.
If I can find one. There are many Switch games I haven't played yet in the hopes an enhanced model would come out soon.
I bought the Switch at launch, great purchase and haven't regretted it for a single second.
I'll get a Switch Pro at launch, provided it's what we are anticipating it to be. I can't wait to see how the next Zelda looks on the upgraded hardware.
The bonus is it will be easy to sell my previous Switch to help fund the new one, can't really lose.
My plan is to pre-order it on Best Buy. I haven't missed a single console pre-order since I started doing it with the PS2 (even the ps5 posed no difficulty for me), hoping I can continue the trend.

We've all collectively been limping along with the Switch the last year or two due to games that came out but weren't really up to spec.
We liked them but all of us would have said "it would have been nice at a more consistent frame rate" or "this is amazing, but it could do with a 4K or HDR"
So I think it's definitely time for a new model.
I can "cope" with my original model, but the hardware is starting to show it's age.
Id not hesitate, not even at $400

I would have bought the Switch Pro in 2017 if it had existed.
I always buy every console upgrade, but this is especially true for Nintendo whose handheld upgrade history has always been a significant improvement that leaves the other in the dust.

I wanna see this hypothetical machine become a reality and see what it does before deciding. I had two Switches, sold both and for now I have no interest in buying it once again. I'm pretty satisfied with the PS5. That could change though, depending on what this machine is and, most importantly, if there's games I want to play on it.
I use my Switch constantly and, well, even Nintendo's games have been hitting their limits on it. Plus I do play in handheld and docked mode, albeit the former more than the latter. For me, it's a no brainer, especially if I can lock in a pre-order because otherwise I'll be going through Twitter hell to get one, like I am for the PS5
