The Slim uses like the Fat an PSU with active PFC. And in all countries the same PSU is used. 110-240V AC 50 & 60 Hz. To make different PSUs for different countries is to expensive these days.
In fact, on 2.5 inch HDDs it makes no change at all. The drives are to slow to get the benefit of 300MB/s more than with 2.0. It only makes a change on SSDs, but I don't think that the slim comes with an (big) SSD. The maximum speed of HDDs is limited for 2.5 inch drives at about 200MB/s if buffered. So SATA 3.0 will not make the drive faster. For the PS4 Pro the effect is much bigger. The use of a SSD makes more sense.
About the sensor from Bosch, it should be Bosch Sensortek if it is right. Sensortek is the company for consumer electronics, Bosch it self only sells sensors for automotive.
Zu deutsch:
Bei dem Sensor handelt es sich vermutlich tatsächlich um ein Produkt von Bosch. Allerdings verkauft Bosch selbst nur an Automotive Kunden und die Sensoren für Consumer kommen von der Tochtergesellschaft Bosch Sensortek. Einfach der vollständigkeit halber.
Ich habe für Bosch im Halbleiterwerk in Reutlingen gearbeitet und auch solche Chips im Bereich Lithographie bewegt.
I do not see the point. I own old AT SMPS they are about 20 years old now. All of them use electrolytic caps. All of them are running well over thousand of hours. It is not the type of the cap who is running bad. It is the quality. In this case all high quality Nippon.
Let the time work. I think there will be cables to get the HDMI out of the USB C. In the past, for every console there was a lot of non Nintendo accessories from third-party. Why should it be other this time?
Region free powersupply's are very common these days. They are cheap. Under 75W they are more cheaper, because in the EU you will need PFC over 75W. Active PFC is expensive, so a non region free supply will be get more benefit to the manufacturer @75W+.
So the charger of the Switch and every Phone are under 75W and can be build simply with an PSU driver chip and only a few more components. For every Voltage.
Back in 2013, a lot of PS4 owners say the PS4 is to noisy. This was with the 90mm Delta with a motor with much smaller power consumption. The fan of the PS4 Pro is not much bigger in millimetres. But it can use about the double of power. This means the fan speed can go up much higher even the noise.
Would the people send the PS4 Pro back this time for the noise? Because it makes no sense. Lower fan noise with the same fan model means lower rotation speed too. And finally it means hotter chips and a higher risk of damage.
If you see the heatsink of the Pro and compare it to the normal PS4, you will see it is not much bigger than before. So you will need more airflow to cool the APU chip this time. The TDP is rising significant.
This thoughts are made in parallel with computer hardware and the cooling of this. An actual graphics card has a bigger heatsink than the PS4 Pro on the same TDP.
Good to know that this part was changed. But since the CUH1100 Sony has changed the fan profile. So the units since are more quiet. I see a problem with this. The fan is working slower now under high loads. The heatsink is not bigger thant the CUH1000. So the temperature under load is much higher than before.
So we know the problems of the PS3 fat console.
I like a louder fan more than the chance to got broken solder.
If we could see the APU tempertures (like on an PC) we would change the cooling I am sure.
I agree with Shawn, the main information of a gudie like this should be the replacement of the fuses. To cut and short an broken socket is not so hard at all.
Here in Germany we have nearly all old lights replaced with LED. It saves a lot of energy and it will not break for years.

Step 17 picture 3 -> metal contacts with flatflex cable tu the joycon pcb.
Even TB 3 ends in PCIe 3.0 4x. This is to slow fore 4K gaming too. The actual 4K Graphics needs PCIe 3.0 8x as minimum to run with more than 24 fps.
It is no eGPU in existence that can bring a low power system 4K gaming. For the Switch die CPU will be the next limiting part.

If you compare in Step 4 the two versions of the MacBook, you can see the version without the touch has the vent openings for the second fan too.
