Welp, according to Nintendo themselves:

Nintendo continued: "The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch. The main unit of Nintendo Switch is the unit that has the LCD screen, which the two Joy-Con controllers can be attached to and detached from. The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system."

I think that settles it... No additional GPU and etc inside it...

That is...bad. Real bad. And a real missed opportunity, at that. Nvidia itself makes GPU's that sip power while being quite powerful - at the time of finalizing specs, they could already have access to something quite nice such as a GTX 960m.

It's not gonna get even the XBO if they value battery life at all - there is simply no mobile SOC for that.

I think its best to really think of it as a handheld that connects to a TV rather than it being a hybrid or a console that turns into a handheld. Because if we think about it from a handheld prespective, this is the most powerful handheld with one of the biggest leaps we have seen in terms of performance. But if we think of it has a console, performance wise, its not going to be very impressive. At the end of the day, I think the devs that were making games for both the Vita and 3ds will come to this one and that is whats really important. But don't think that it will all of a sudden have all the western third parties on board.
