This is the one used on the new Macbooks. Some smartphones use it but it's a relative new and relatively high end connector.

I probably never saw one but its good they didn't use the ones like the 3DS and the Wii U Gamepad.

no, just that you can charge when away from the dock

But wouldnt that allow nintendo to sell a switch potentially without a docking station? and cables to hook up for the tv ect?

Maybe worth it if they can lower the price to get those that just want it as a handheld onboard at a cheaper price?

im not saying it wont or cant happen, just saying this doesnt really hint at it happening.
