I am talking about design, not technology.
If there wasn't any design work they would have come with a handheld, a charger, a hdmi to USB cable and a pro controller; put them all in a box and call it done.

You don't need a HDMI to USB cable.
Many displays for some time have come with a USB port and accept video over USB.
And that's my point.
The only real design work is actually the plastic molding... Nintendo didn't invent any of the technology in the Switch, everything had literally been done before or came from nVidia.
The only difference is, they were able to put it into an attractive package at a good price which then went gangbusters and sold 100's of millions.

Ok, but I didn't implied the opposite, anyway...
My point is the design work on switch was not just look pretty, functionality is the key word and there are lot of thought process to make this hybrid concept, where the handheld "transform physically" into a home console and still it could be done better if they're given more time, but the deadline was pretty short considering the hurry to replace the Wii U
