Lets get real about the most likely scenario with NS.

We already know major third party games are not coming to the switch. Mass Effect, and Final Fantasy to name two.

As for the dock, if there were truly any performance boosting parts, I think sliding it in and out the the dock station would have some issues in running the game. It wouldn't be as smooth of a transition as it is, plus the danger of bricking the NS. A pc owner would never pull pieces of their pc out while running a game. Plus it would add to the cost considerably. Most likely it isn't going to have anything in the base. We'll see soon enough though.

Those two games don't really clue us in at the kinds of games Switch will or won't be getting, let alone its overall level of support, especially since ff15 never actually ruled out a Switch version.

The Switch isn't a PC, and it's the first gaming device ever DESIGNED to operate like this. I'm not really sure how you can infer on how a mobile device/game console would operate based on how a stock PC works. I'm also not sure how you can definitively say it would add to the cost considerably, when we don't know how much any of the components in this thing cost. Even if the base doesn't have anything, there are ways it's power can be improved while it is plugged into it. 

We've also had rumors from a very credible source (the same source that nailed other aspects of the Switch) that there is a power boost when docked. And in fact, she even explains the transition time :

Then you have games releasing months later than other consoles with downgraded graphics and no mention of it when they are relevant. Same with Skyrim and 2k17.

 

For an example, see the first 2 years of Wii Us life
