Yeah, fluff features waste battery life, the 3D is always on even when the slider is off for insrance. I'd also add in that a lot of mobile devices have several hours of battery life with higher end specs, a lot hinges on which Tegra chip is in the Switch as well because proper programming can make it more battery efficient if its say a K2 processor which have an absurd amount of cores and multithreading is far more feasible.

Makes more sense to have a single device, but the cost of developing games for it at this point might still be high enough to justify having a cheaper option. They might just keep on with the 3DS for a couple of more years, I see no reason to stop it now when it still has good game support.

Exactly this. Why would they ever risk moving certain 3DS titles to the Switch, if it sells poorly. This is especially true for Pokemon, it's always released very late after a new handheld generation (2 years roughly).
Right now the most prominent reason for a Switch here seems to by "OMG SKYRIM ON THE POTTY"... If that's the most prominent one, then good luck to the Switch.
I personally still don't see which market group would want to get a Switch:
To get the console crowd - you pretty much need AAA 3rd party support the Ps4/Xbox has - right now there are 0 titles announced (no, we don't count skyrim).
To get the casual/mobile crowd - you need everything a Mobile/Tablet can do (i.e. Books+TVShows), for a similar price (i.e. ~200-250$).
Given the current price estimations, and the current target crowd of "home console", then it's looking pretty "meh" in potential customers.
Got a official statement from Nintendo?

Its safe to say it has already replaced the Wii-U. So when it comes to there console AAA titles then that's where you will be going.
As for it replacing the 3DS that's unknown yet.

she said it was told to her by nintendo, and ubisoft the same people who told her and emily and eurogamer the name of the system, the specs, and everything else
"The information about the system being region free comes from sources A, B and E (Nintendo, Ubisoft and Rush of Blood). As A and B were accurate as a pair when it came to the Split D-Pad and “Share” Button report, and the Rush of Blood source has been accurate in the past, I still believe the system will be region free."

so wrong, much proven.

You can believe what you wish, that doesn't make it confirmed or true. Laurak has been right on a few things and wrong so until confirmed best to take things with a grain of salt. Until Nintendo makes a official statement....its a rumor at best.
Congratz she got the name right....woo woo.

this is the person who had a ps4 pro for over a month before release. lol the fact that some people are so naive to disbelieve things at this point is hilarious.
she got the name, cartridges, detachable controllers, the d pad, share button, lack of backwards compatibility,
just look at this,

"This information again came from sources A (Nintendo), B (Ubisoft) and D (Manufacturing). None could confirm whether the dock is a PlayStation VR-style processing box which helps power higher resolution play when docked, or if docking the console simply allows the handheld to overclock and provides better performance that way. All sources claim the hardware has an easier time running docked compared to when out and about as a portable.
Many on Twitter have drawn my attention to this interview with IGN where Nintendo state that “The dock is not the main console unit of Nintendo Switch… The main function of the Nintendo Switch Dock is to provide an output to the TV, as well as charging and providing power to the system.”
To that, I reply that they repeatedly use the words “main function” and “Main Console” here which still leaves a lot of room for clarity. I believe these statements were aimed at clarifying the Switch was not another Wii U style console rather than saying the dock won’t in any way alter game performance. You can’t play the dock without the handheld, but that doesn’t mean the dock won’t improve game performance."

what grasping at straws?
this is the only thing from the source that was fake
specifically the dimensions of the device and the placement of a couple things like the headphone jack
what the device looked like, it being region free ect have nothing to do with that source
"In this report we also mentioned the “Switch” being region free. This was in no way based on information from source F (F stands for Fail… on our part… with vetting that source).
The information about the system being region free comes from sources A, B and E (Nintendo, Ubisoft and Rush of Blood). As A and B were accurate as a pair when it came to the Split D-Pad and “Share” Button report, and the Rush of Blood source has been accurate in the past, I still believe the system will be region free."

She even admits to being wrong and yet you keep beating this dead horse.
Until Nintendo confirms it or the system is on video in someones hands, All things said is rumors and should be taken with a massive grain of salt.
Accept it already. She admits she was wrong alot and you keep beating this dead horse even tho you have been proven wrong.

if you guys cant even keep up with the information how can you even try to claim shes "wrong about all these things"
i guess she 3d printed that too huh

And I quote myself, from a better track record dude.
If it's to be believed currently there's no implementation of any overclock but it's not an impossibility.
No. But the function is easy enough to implement it before the start. So never say never.It doesn't clock higher in the dock either?

Power and cooling doesn't mean jack if the cpu/gpu doesn't clock higher than what they already were doing when it isn't docked. That's the point. It entirely depends on how they set it up with battery and power conservation, and if there aren't any and it's clocked up to what it is then there is no performance increase without overclocking. These are things we don't know and unless specified it's just a wild guess. The point that was noted was overclocking, both by your source and mine, not that it runs at a more stable clock rate due to power and cooling budget.
That said, cooling it is... odd from what the current dock and system itself is doing. It's already noted that it's active cooling due to these vents. As for the possibility of the dock cooling the tablet, I have some serious doubt just from the external looks. The dock has no visible vents from what we've seen, whether on the top or side and what not. The bottom isn't raised to provide any air flow to come from the bottom and if it did there is no exhaust seen which would end up with no air flow because the inside pressure is just pushing itself out of the same intake.
