By the way, where is the source that there are two fans on the dock ?

The same people on Famiboards who leaked the initial shipment data stuff (fwd-bwd, Thraktor LiC and other posters) also later on scoured the data and found the dock has a radiator fan inside of it (the shipment data lists metal brackets inside the new dock that are for a radiator fan specifically). "Radiator fan" is just a more formal/technical designation for what we just call a fan inside a computing device.

The content may be hidden unless you're a Famiboards member. 

There are also two separate product code numbers for two different fans in the shipment data (so the Switch 2 likely has two different fans). 

This video has a summary of everything found by Famiboards:

A second fan in the dock should allow for potentially max performance of the chip when docked. 

They also have I believe the size dimensions of the Switch 2 (without Joycons attached) and they're a good deal larger than the Switch 1.
