I don't think it'll be that expensive.
Even the Shield Console was $199.99 (the no HDD config) and that will be almost 2 years old by the time Switch launches.
A cheap 6-inch 720p LCD is maybe $50 tops, a battery $10.
I think it'll be $249.99 launch price.
But price is not everything. 3DS is what? $79.99 at the lowest and it won't even get to the GBA's total even with double a 6 year cycle almost instead of 3 years.
I'm skeptical it's all that "customized" either. Probably a Tegra X2 tweaked for game performance and larger L2/L3 cache to help offset low bandwidth from LPDDR4 RAM.
