I have an extra dock for playing in table top mode that the Switch slides into with a port in the back to charge while you play, looks just like the Wii U gamepad in it's charging dock, this works brilliantly for tabletop mode, and looks sleek all at the same time. Yes, I've looked at the previous systems, I mentioned the Wii U gamepad in my post you quoted, did you even read the whole post? I noted how it would add extra bulk and cost to the system to do so, so again I'm fine with the decision, especially since I don't think I've ever had an instance where I need to charge the system while playing portably, I play portably plenty, but never more than 3 hours at once, so the "issue" really doesn't exist for me, which is humorous because when the system launched I thought for sure this would annoy me.
