It's a shame that it's undockable because if it were, I'd replace my current switch with this as my main system in a second. I'm sure it's because the Switch Lite is not meant to run at a higher performance and does not have a fan, but not being able to play it on the TV is a problem for me. I don't take my Switch with me anywhere but I do play a lot around the house, and I'm tempted to get one just for that. Looks like a great handheld with *gasp* an actual D-pad!

Pretty sure it does have a fan:

But yeah not as good cooling is the only reason I can think of for it not being compatible. Don't see any other reason to not support a dock, it is a shame. I mean it probably can't physically fit into the current dock, but they could always release another dock or an adapter/cable for the current docks. Dropping support for video output isn't going to reduce production costs.

If it can be docked then almost no point in buying the original model anymore since this is way cheaper, more battery life and have better design form factor.
