Nintendo: Switch dock only for charging and TV-out

Honestly, if Nintendo can't get it to be as strong as the PS4 when 'docked', then they shouldn't call it 'primarily' a home console because the lack of power when you compare it to consoles that were considered obselete three years ago just makes the NS look like a big disappointment regardless of its portability.  At the same time, I also know why they don't want to advertise it as a handheld since they're still trying to sell the 3DS.

But isn't the dock just to power/charge the thing? That's what I got from this news. Maybe I'm reading it wrong? O.o

There are rumors that it works at full power when docked while only using a portion of its power when in handheld mode to conserve battery life.
