I got to say, if that dock isn't some sort of supplemental computing device then I have a hard time seeing the NS succeed. It seems like it's going to be too expensive for casuals and people who prefer handhelds while being too weak (if that dock doesn't add any power) to satisfy core gamers. It looks more like a tablet gaming system that's trying to be a handheld and a console at the same time -- like a jack of all trades, master of none; does a little bit of everything but not enough to satisfy anyone.

Its dosent have an extra GPU there, Nintendo (kinda) confirmed it.They said that the main function of the dock is to connect to the TV and to charge the portable unit.And while they didnt deny the extra GPU, the lack of mention kinda proves there isnt.The source is in IGN, a article they also confirm Amiibo support for Switch(duh).(cant give link because Im on mobile)

Some have pointed out that the dock has vents. That, along with all of the wasted plastic, would make for some serious overkill on a charging station with HDMI out.
