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.

Why does it have the same chip and 4 USB ports and is shaped closer to a cube. That's not the docking station as shown in the video, completely different dimensions. Plus the dimensions of the portable unit make it larger than the WiiU Gamepad, yet with a slightly smaller screen. Could just be a devkit to run in parallel with the handheld for debugging. Could just be a made up leak.
