Former UK Destructoid editor-in-chief Laura Dale has <a href="https://twitter.com/LaurakBuzz/status/806198457493024769">posted another tidbit about the Nintendo Switch</b> (she's been drip feeding us details as of late on her Twitter), namely that the dock itself contains a fan that allows for the Switch components to overclock so that 1080p can be achieved when the console is plugged into a TV.

One neat additional detail that Dale notes is that Nintendo plan on making the dock available separately at retail so that you can buy a dock for any additional screens in your home.

Here's the entirety of Dale's tweet, where she also notes that while she apparently knows a lot about how the eagerly awaited press event on January 13 will play out, she's not invited herself.

While none of this is confirmed, it is reasonable to assume that the information is correct.
