What's a good USB adapter I should get for this?
I'd suggest the official Nintendo one but any LAN adapter out there like this one should do the trick just fine.

yesSo does this mean definitely no sim card support?
Does this mean the console is close to release?
Thanks got the Nintendo one for Wii U but can't find them any more so this will help thanks! 👍🏾I'd suggest the official Nintendo one but any LAN adapter out there like this one should do the trick just fine.

Also, making FCC filings is a pain in the ass and can delay a product by several months if a product is rejected.Of course tied to that but its also stuff they need done before they start having demo units etc. Have to get all that stuff FCC approved. 16 days before they start having hands on with the devices
[*]"AC Adapter input: AC 100 240 V, 50 / 60 Hz, 1 A" is a power brick with worldwide compatibility. This heavily points towards the console being region-free.

Some interesting stuff in there. From a cursory reading:
- "AC Adapter output: DC 5 V DC 15 V, 2.6 A" means the maximum total power draw of Switch is 39W, although obviously that would just be during charging (it's possible that it uses the 15V USB-C spec while charging and drops down to 5V when fully charged and running a game, but that's just my speculation). If so, it should charge pretty quickly (although this depends on the battery as well).
D'oh, I forgot the USB 2.0 ports in the dock that will need to be powered and also the fan if there's one. That would be around 15~20W accounted just for those components when used.Haha I guessed right that total power output would be around 40W to account for all the USB ports in the dock.
This also means that the USB-C port isn't a Power Delivery port, so no 100W output. Just the standard 15W output.

Nope, The Wii U power brick has worldwide compatibility as well. This confirms nothing sadly.
Mine doesn't. I just checked, and it's 230V/50Hz only (EU model), although I'd be interested to know if the US/Japanese ones are different.
Haven't seen someone with a tablet that has mobile internet in god knows how long (probably back in like 2011-2012?) so I don't know what argument your trying to make here.No mobile internet option doesn't surprise me but it should pretty much kill the Switch as a viable platform for whale baiting F2P games. I'm not complaining, just throwing it out there since some people thought it was in the cards.
Also wondering if a YouTube App on the Switch could download videos onto the SD-Card for offline mode. If not then parents will still hand their phones to their kids in public or during car rides so the advantage of being a tablet is pretty much gone. Also wondering why to even bother with a web browser then but we've talked this through already.
There's always the option to use your phone and tether that internet connection to the Switch. Only an option for power users but still an option.
My USA Wii U works just fine on 220v outlet.Mine doesn't. I just checked, and it's 230V/50Hz only (EU model), although I'd be interested to know if the US/Japanese ones are different.
they sell extra batteries for the wii u gamepad already, it's not out of the questionShould make it removable, they would make some extra money selling extended batteries.
Not on my Wii U either, I had to buy new chargers when I moved from NA to PAL land.
Like the PS3, its just not stated.

I think only one PS3 model didn't have region free power.

Adding SIM Card support seems like a waste of time and resources tbh

The big question is what does HAC stand for? Nintendo have usually used codenames abbreviations for model numbers.
"Handheld And Console"?
Mine doesn't. I just checked, and it's 230V/50Hz only (EU model), although I'd be interested to know if the US/Japanese ones are different.
Was wondering that myself. All their past ones used the consoles' codenames; as far as I know this is the first one that doesn't.
Your idea is likelier than most.
Does that tell us how fast it will charge?
Darn I was hoping there would be mobile internet since it's basically a tablet.
Mine's NA and I'm currently in PAL land using it no issues straight into the socket. So this confirms it being universal. And it was confirmed years ago anyway and I thought this was common knowledge.Not on my Wii U either, I had to buy new chargers when I moved from NA to PAL land.

Carry a portable external battery like a normal electronics addict, you people.
Darn I was hoping there would be mobile internet since it's basically a tablet.
It is highly likely to be the one of the first things to go, so it isn't that great.Fine by me. I trust the rechargeable battery included will last the lifespan of the console
really hoping i can still use my wii lan adapter for it. i've been using it with my wii u for the past few years.The patent seemed to suggest Ethernet would be possible through a USB adaptor.
I'm not too certain, I think it's dependant on the battery it is using. We know it's a standard lithium ion battery for small devices but it didn't mention the Watt output and the current on the battery.
I expect it to have fast charging in the first place because USB-C can output at 3A when older USB types had 1A usually.
I don't think it will have Qualcomm's quick charge but, it already has a high Wattage output of 15W with USB-C and I'm not really expecting the Switch in portable mode to run higher than 7W otherwise Nintendo would need to put a large battery inside.
So basically, I would expect it to charge faster than the 3 hour times we are used to but I'll just guess that it shouldn't take longer than 2 hours.
Edit: I could be wrong about this because Qualcomm's Quick Charge uses an increase in voltage not current to charge things faster. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/quick-charge/faq
Although this is to make it easier to work across batteries with different current outputs.
Haha I guessed right that total power output would be around 40W to account for all the USB ports in the dock.
This also means that the USB-C port isn't a Power Delivery port, so no 100W output. Just the standard 15W output.
In the bottom of that same slide:Power Delivery has 5 profiles, including an 18W (12V @ 1.5A) profile. I realize this isn't much better than 15W, but I don't see a reason to rule it out.
Wolf might be the codename used by Nvidia."HAC"? I kinda expected the model identifier to be NX or WLF (Wolf). So maybe neither are canonical codenames? That's usually how it goes (DOL, RVL, NTR, etc.)
The Switch uses a Tegra chip. Those are made by Nvidia, not Qualcomm. Qualcomm Quick Charge is only compatible with their Snapdragon chips.
That AC adapter is almost assuredly for the dock, though, which needs some power itself. I'd be surprised if the Switch charges from it directly instead of off a regulator in the dock.In the bottom of that same slide:
"Additional capabilities possible as optional extensions to standard profiles"
Which explains the 2.6A distributed by the tested AC adapter which is not a standard source value.
Other tidbits:
- AC adaptor output: 5V-15V, 2.6A (therefore 39W max power)
- Battery non user removable (no surprise)

Know a lot of tablets with removable battery, don't you?Why is this no surprise? All previous Nintendo handhelds had a user removable battery.

This is my Internet on 2.4 ghzWhy 5GHZ wifi is great ?
Sorry about the whataboutism but Sony is well known for skimping on wifi.Glad they didn't skimp on wifi. Was a realistic possibility with this company.
