I remember that. I still don't think it won't be a vanilla X2, just like I have back when we first talked about it.@Foxi4 Guess i was right. So what do you think?
You're spot-on with your 3-4 hour assessment, I expect this thing to push around 500GFLOPS full-blast, nothing has changed. 
Nah it can push probably 700glops before any issues arise.I remember that. I still don't think it won't be a vanilla X2, just like I have back when we first talked about it.
When docked this thing will most likely push it to 1.3Tflops assuming there is n additional power in the dock (CPU, GPU, ram etc.) Which I for one think there will be and a lot of rumors are corroborating that. On the X2, seeing as how Nvidia said it was running their latest architecture id say its a custom X2.I remember that.

That's very unlikely unless they managed to run the X2 under 25W at full-blast, which they very well may have. If it's in a tablet though, no heatsink can be used, so anything above 10W is pushing their luck. 500 is a reasonable number considering 750 is top stock - it's 2/3rds, conservative. 
There isn't, Nintendo clarified it's a video passthrough and charger only.
They said that was its main function. They didnt talk about additional functions, on that note, based on these prototypes, id say this dock is a little too bulky to just be a charger, usb port and hdmi pass through.That's very unlikely unless they managed to run the X2 under 25W at full-blast, which they very well may have.

Livin' the dream, huh? Just because they can do it doesn't mean they will. It's possible (we discussed this prior in the thread), but very unlikely. It'd just be too costly to implement.
doubt it would, a small proccesor to do background tasks and additional ram isnt a lot to ask for. Or just an additional GPU.
While I can see why you might think they would do this, I don't think it would be a good idea. The whole point of the switch is that you can take all of your console games to go. Every game on the Switch must be able to be played when mobile, so that means developers essentially have to limit the game's graphics anyway, so any extra processing power in the dock would go wasted. All it would do is raise the manufacturing costs (and retail price, perhaps.)
Well in the end thats what it will be no matter what, a reduced experience on mobile. Nvidia confirmed that their hardware is scalable so this is not an issue.
Unfortunately it is, trust me. The only interfaces they can use for that kind of connectivity is SLI which isn't asymmetrical (scales to the slowest GPU in the chain) or instantaneous (requires a reboot) or PCIe. The best they could do is add an external GPU, since PCIe is hotswappable. It's doable, just not in the average Nintendo price range. Don't expect miracles.
We'll just have to wait and see

All I can offer you is an explanation of how it'd work in practice, the rumour mill keeps turning until we get word from Nintendo. Their rep said that it's just a power supply and video out and I'm inclined to believe it's precisely that and nothing else, but it's technically feasible to shove more processing power into the dock, it's just complicated.We'll just have to wait and see
So nintendo fanboyism?
Indeed, hands-on is the only way Ninty has a chance of dispelling criticisms anyways.
OTOH it would've been skewered in its reviews and would've sold very poorly if it hadn't also included a D-pad and analog buttons. Just as with the 3DS, a lot of games are playable on it without using the touchscreen at all.
Would be nice if they included a thunderbolt port on it so that you could accelerate it using an additional eGPU even if there isn't one in the dock.
