Easiest thing they could do to offer Switch 2 "Home" is making a case the size of the Switch 2 that slots into existing Switch 2 dock - that way they are both offering home version, while not redesigning too much (can be sold separately or bundled with dock/dock and controller).

This would however limit how high clocks could go, since dock has fairly limited power supply - my guesstimate is ~1300MHz for GPU, but that's 30% higher clock, so quite a bit of extra performance.

I dunno, that seems a bit inefficient to me... Why would that be better than just a Switch Home that just plugs directly into a TV & doesn't need a dock? The PSU in the dock is a super simple piece of tech no?

Oh, it would certainly be better if it was stand alone unit - that way it could have beefier power supply and go to much higher clocks.

But, this way Nintendo can sell it as "Home" bundle and as a standalone "upgrade", while limiting R&D and production costs to minimum.

Just a thought experiment, of course.
