If the so called leaked devkit is to be believe that maybe the case because the's apparently 4 GB RAM in the tablet but 6GB when it's in the docking unit so maybe the scaleable chip and such is in the tablet but the docking unit still some extra little bits here and there to upscale when it's hooked to the TV.

Devkits are known to have extra memory for debugging, I wouldn't count on anything. Plus Nintendo already stated the dock only provides tv output and power input. You don't need 2GB to upscale a 720p image.

If the unit runs faster on ac power, wouldn't it make sense to always have it plugged in through an adapter? I always have my laptop plugged in. That seems a bit counter intuitive to have games that recommend you to run it on ac power.
I guess in the dock it could boost the clock speed of the device to provide 1080p output without the heat of the screen and perhaps better cooling.

Explain why the Docking station would have memery though that's the point and mind you that's if I reading the data correctly as it could be saying 6GB in the Dock and 4GB in the Tablet, factoring in that it's a devkit the platform obviously doesn't need 10GB so I'd say 5 GB for the retail unit but why does the docking unit have RAM in it is the question? The only reason I can think of is to supplement upscaling for the TV output.
