probably no touch screen controls. as touch screen wastes battery. the sensor is always ON waiting for the next touch!

just like when you buy a laptop with a touch screen and the version without lasts 2x as long.

 

my Dell xps 13 with non touch screen gives me about 8-10 hrs. my wife has the touch verson and gets 4-7 averages.

I call bullshit on that. If that claimed battery life difference is true, it must have other reasons.

Also the touch screen sensors DON'T have to be always ON waiting for the next touch, if the device has also a power button. Nintendo can chose that touch screen sensors are only active, when the device is turned on anyways, not in standby.
