IMO this could be a case, one fan inside Switch and one inside dock and both work only in dock mode, or just one fan in dock mode.

 

Nintendo did said they have to talk about more functions/possibilities of Switch they didn't show in 1st trailer. Point of 1st Switch trailer was just a concept, they didn't show any technical staffs or details.

 

That Reddit source isn't reliable at all because said 1080p Switch screen. And what other source (Nintendo) exactly said? Not to mention that so far Laura Kate Dale NX/Switch rumours are almost 100% accurate.

This is not at all blind hopefully, this is very realistic and expectable scenario, and something like this was hinted all the time.

I already addressed what you are talking about with the Reddit post. He said, "it looks like" which means he is speculating. Now, the hand held could be 1080p and then the home docked version would be the same... or, the Reddit user's guess was wrong but it does not affect credibility as he never confirmed the screen was 1080p in the first place. As was mentioned, Nintendo said the main function of the dock is to give video out; the Reddit poster seems to have confirmed that sentiment. If the dock provided a graphical boost, that would most definitely be a main feature, no?

I am not accusing anyone of blind hope and I am not saying it is impossible. I said I doubt it and gave valid reasons for my doubt. As I said, I am not saying anyone is incorrect because these are rumors. But if I had to hedge my bet using all the information gathered, I am betting against Laura right now because Nintendo has not even alluded to this being a possibility and the Foxconn worker being very clear and descriptive (as well as being IP tracked back to Foxconn). Either way, I'm buying switch day 1.

Thats point, his claims don't look true at all (not just screen part), while on other hand we have infos from several different reliable sources when it comes to NX/Switch that claim that display is 720p. Offcourse that main feature of dock is gave video out to TV, but that doenst mean thats only feature, like I wrote: "Nintendo did said they have to talk about more functions/possibilities of Switch they didn't show in 1st trailer. Point of 1st Switch trailer was just a concept, they didn't show any technical staffs or details". This Reddit guy can't really know based on dock if dock gave bigger performance, because Switch just runs at higher clock at dock, and you can't tell that buy looking at dock.

You can really accuse someone from that even if you want because thats claims are from trustable sources and that very expected and realistic. I addressed all your reasons for doubting. Two facts, this Reddit guys claims are not true because they different from claims from trustable sources that were 100% accurate about NX/Switch buy now like Eurogamer, Laura and Emily, and second fact is that Laura claims about NX/Switch are 100% till now, so its very unlikly that she is wrong now.
