The only reason for those top holes / vents would be some form of active cooling. Nintendo is not putting those in for esthetics :p.

I would estimate that the upper outtake vents are at least four time the size of the intake vents I've spotted on he backside. Makes no sense to me as this would mean that an internal fan would have to overcome that "artificial" air flow barrier and such wasting electric power.

On the other side mobile cooling by convection would mean that the outtake has less pressure (which is anyway the case with hot air)...

It would also be possible to have an second fan in the docking station if the one in the Switch main unit could be "put off" from the electric connection so it won't act as an electric generator...

I hope Nintendo has a great solution as I've bad experiences with little fans and conjunction with dust/smoke. Even my Wii U fan died and had to be exchanged (under warranty) and I know at least one other person which had the same problem...

Can you provide a picture of those vents on the back? Or a timecode on the trailer.

I think i saw two ones at the sides below, but i'm not sure if that could work since that side would at the bottom when standing up.
