Well Nvidia was supposedly working on a new Shield (gaming?) tablet with the Tegra X1 in it. That never got released, I wonder if NS is the reason why.

I like how people are not noticing that Switch is a fat piggy...14-15mm, if people are correct extrapolating from that video, with what seems like active cooling. For comparison, iPad Pro is 7mm.

If X1 on 20nm had problem running at 1GHz in slim tablet (since it consumes 20W), I bet its 14nm successor in something as fat as Switch (with active cooling) might have a lot less problems...especially after that 3h battery rumour.

I'm fine with the thickness, a game handheld needs to have some thickness to it otherwise it's not comfortable to hold. An iPad is too thin, iPads are razor thin.

Vita (first gen) to me is perfect thickness, that felt great in my hands and thats about 14-15 mm. So I'm fine with that. 

To be honest, and I'm very picky about this, I had no qualms with the looks of the NS at all. It looks like a very slick piece of kit, the shot in the airport with the blonde girl meeting the guy showed the thickness of the unit quite well and I thought that was fine. It looks good, a big change from the awkward, bulky Wii U tablet design.
