The Nintendo Switch Lite earns a 6 out of 10 on our reparability scale (10 is the easiest to repair):

Screws, rather than adhesives, secure most components.

Many components, including the joysticks, fan, and headphone jack, are modular and can be replaced independently.

The battery, though strongly glued down, can be replaced shortly after removing the rear case.

The digitizer and display are not fused, but are firmly glued in place.

The flash storage and SD card reader are now soldered directly to the motherboard.

Uncommon tri-point screws hinder all repairs.
