For what purpose do you want to connect the Nintendo Switch to the laptop?

For example, you can use a normal USB-A to USB-C cable and connect the Nintendo Switch to the laptop / PC to charge it.

If you want to use the laptop as a monitor, however, this is not so easy.
Most PCs and laptops have no video inputs, only video outputs. In this case, you would have to retrofit an appropriate video input with, for example, a capture card. There are models that can be connected to the PC / laptop via USB. Then you connect the Nintendo Switch to the capture card via HDMI cable and this to the laptop via USB. You can then play the video signal on the laptop with a suitable program.

Or do you want to connect to another purpose that I couldn't think of now?

Exactly wanted to gamble

lo

How do you mean

This normal charging cable from Samsung type C fits into the Nintendo switch and has a USB port for your PC

No, unfortunately that will not work.

lo

Thank you very nice!

Um, and is there a good brand that is small, practical and cheap?

I don't know a direct brand recommendation, but USB-A to USB-C cables are already available in the range of 5 euro to 10 euro.
Most smartphones also come with a charging cable. You could also simply use this.

Or do you mean a capture card?
A reasonable one usually costs as much as a monitor. I use the Elgato HD60 S here, which you can get for less than 200 euro.
