Strange, Ideally the Dock should of had a better GPU that would render the game at a higher resolution on the TV screen. The handheld GFX may look good on the small screen but on the TV ouch.

Probably, though it's really soon to say that, the GPU won't be running at max capacity on portable mode to save power, and works at max capacity in the dock station. So the portable would be a downgraded version. 

Perhaps, I suppose the Dock could have some fans in it, blowing air over the handheld to cool it down, so they could run the GPU at a couple hundred Hz higher, its not going to be a huge difference though, i.e. it won't be enough to make the 720p games suddenly playable at 1080p.

From looking at specs, docked I guess this will be 60-75% of the flops of the Xbox One, about half a ps4, OK for a handheld but for something plugged into the TV, hmmm
