The switch undocked is more powerful than the wii U right?

Most certainly.

Bandorr said:
Then why does the resolution fall to 720 the same as wii U when undocked.

Design choice.

Because the Switch's screen resolution is 720?

That likely falls under design choice. You do NOT have to render the game at the same resolution as your display.

Bandorr said:

So the resolution on the switch can't ever go higher than 720?

It can go higher. Just some developers might not see the point and would rather spend the extra resources on Anti-Aliasing or Anisotropic Filtering.

As noted already, the native resolution of the Switch screen is 720 and hence it makes no sense to render it higher.  Technically, it could but you'd lose battery life...

Indeed. That is one of the big caveats to pushing a higher resolution... More hardware demand, more battery life drain.
