I keep seeing this. The answer is ME.

I have a TV (with a web browser app) with a PC with wireless keyboard connected to it, a $700 smart phone, a $300 tablet, and every 7th and 8th gen console. The WiiU browser is still my most used--but it's starting to suck. It's having trouble loading certain pages, nowadays. PS4 and XB1 browsers are pretty capable but clunky to use.

 

I was REALLY looking forward to Nintendo's version. And it will have one eventually. Even back in the Wii days, I used it way more than PS3's (and Xbox 360 didn't even have one until until the gen as almost over).  

If you're not using your TV for the browser, the tablet itself is pretty useless, as you already have similar devices to browse the web. If you have it on the TV, it's going to be clunky to use anyway because you're not using the touch screen. 

That's a non issue. The Joy-Con is said to have IR pointer capabilities, just like the Wiimote.
