The Reddit guy is also saying he was told the reveal will be in January.

He saw the final retail model with the box and everything else but was not allowed to turn it on.

There's a hardware bundle or variant with a game that has 9 in the title (Mario Kart 9 most likely). It's a 1st party Nintendo game. 

The dock is rounded on one side at the top, the Verge guy speculates this is to prevent people from lying the dock down because there is a second fan in the dock (so you don't want the vents to be accidentally blocked). 

The magnets inside the new Joycons can be used as buttons when held horizontally I think (?)

Dark grey all around is the color of the model he saw, there is an all-white model too, and a bundle or hardware color variant for Mario Kart 9 apparently.

There is some kind of laser feature in the Joycons (?)

Confirms the new C-button on the right Joycon, but no one knows what this does. 

From the Verge article:

On Reddit, NextHandheld (the leaker) cryptically teased that asking if the dock had a fan was "the right question," and in a picture shared with The Verge, I can see the alleged dock has big feet around back, ones positioned so it can lie down horizontally without blocking a set of vents.'

'NextHandheld says the dock is rated for 60W, while the Switch 2 is rated for 45W, both of which would be substantially higher than the original if true. The original Switch had an unusual 39W charger for both docked and handheld modes, which only provided up to 18W for the handheld.'
