| Shiken said: No you have it twisted. There are two reasons why the Switch at docked power would be ineffective as a handheld. One is heat. The fan ramps up notably higher and the console gets considerably warmer. This leaves it with moving parts and leaves it more fragile in a portable environment.
The other is the battery life. The extra juice required would sap it dry in no time.
It seems that there is no correct answer for you, and you will only say what you think will sound better for what you want to happen. It is BECAUSE the dock does so little that the Switch itself is a hybrid by design, and not just a portable with an extra attachment. It is designed to operate as both at a hardware and software level. If you hack it to be one way or another, you are altering the entire form factor of the product that is being sold. |
OK. So the dock doesnt have a fan or have like some sort of additional PSU.
So if there were a USB c cable that spilt into HDMI and power to allow the switch connect to a TV and also draw power from the wall at the same time will that work?
And does that mean that the PSP was a hybrid too or even better a home console? Because it had a TV out cable.
And its not about hacking it... I believe before this gen is done nintendo will sell the NS without a dock and just cables instead.
