This is my Internet on 2.4 ghz
Now on 5ghz
Wow amazing it means I can finally play online decently at smash

Why is this no surprise? All previous Nintendo handhelds had a user removable battery.

That could have been because I shifted like a foot away from the WiFi when I rolled over in bed 😆 lol but plus lost some upload too!His 5GHz latency is 11ms and the 2.4GHz is 10ms
5GHz is trash, latency is everything in online play.

Og PS4 don't support it.What the fuck, I should make use of the 5Ghz on my PS4 then.
Didn't knew it was that much of a difference.
that internet speed is literally mind-boggling to me. i got 50mbps max
Og PS4 don't support it.
Damn... I only pay for 150mbps Internet too. But the same day Comcast gave me a 1tb limit is the same day I got that boost to 230.its like thanks but all you did was make it so I will go over the 1tb faster....Your 50 feel the same compared to my 4mbps ;(

That's the downside I could do it in about less than a day? Steam downloads at 28MB a sec so about what? 10 or so hours my cap would be reached. Though people do say as long as it's not over because of torrents they don't care but I'm not trusting that.At least we don't have caps (yet) around here. 1Tb would take almost a whole month downloading 24/7 at full speed, lol.
HAndheld Console maybe?Handheld And Console?
- Battery non user removable (no surprise)
The real news is that now we know what code name joins the family of NES, HVC, DMG, SNS, NUS, DOL, AGB, RVL, WUP
it's... HAC

Looks like 5GHz is in. Not surprising but nice to see non-the-less.
This is true. I'm only about 5 feet away from my router but once a wall or two get in the way it drops quick.Note that you do have to have a 5 Ghz router and that 5 Ghz has a much shorter range then 2.4 Ghz.
Yep I'm surprised this isn't discussed more, I posted on page 2 (default ppp setting) but nothing. Dock is HAT too.
For the moment, I'll go for
Hybrid Abomination Console & Hybrid Abomination Terminal.
I'm sure I remember a rumour from months ago that said the Switch's model code would be HAC.
What exactly does that mean in regards to gaming?
Some interesting stuff in there. From a cursory reading:
- Switch's model no is HAC-001, the dock/AC adaptor is HAC-002, game card is HAC-008 and the joy-cons seems to be HAC-015 and HAC-016 (not sure which is which, though).
- The impression I get is that the A/C adaptor is in the dock, as it doesn't mention them separately, although I'm not 100% sure.
Edit: Maybe not. They also mention a SDEV Cradle (HAT-003) which may be a stand-in for the dock (in which case the consumer version of the dock is likely HAC-003).- "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.
- "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).
- Support for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wifi, including 802.11ac MIMO.
- Bluetooth support, obviously enough. The existence of a low energy mode means Bluetooth 4.0 or later.
All if this sounds great.
Also, thank nicolas cage for no 3G/LTE. One of the Vita's biggest mistakes at launch.
I'd also rather not pay at least $50 extra for a feature I'll never use.Yeah I'd rather just make a network with my phone if I really want to play online games on the go.
Dat 1msHis 5GHz latency is 11ms

Is online gaming even viable using LTE?

The 3G function wasnt just ment for games, but to make the Vita even a more portable device, to use for web browsing, Google Maps and such things. I wouldnt really call it a mistake because it was a seperate model and i dont think it hurt the Vita at all over all. That said, personally i got the 3G model at launch and didnt use that function much. I used it a few times for the Near function, but not much else. So its not something thats really necessary for Switch, in my opinion.I'd also rather not pay at least $50 extra for a feature I'll never use.

Simplest answer is Handheld And Console = HAC. Just like how DMG stands for Dot Matrix Game, and the code for Game Boy which uses a dot matrix screen.
Today's WiFi can make use of two available bands, 2.4GHz and 5GHz, with 5GHz being the newer of the two bands. Long story short, without getting into the nitty gritty, in most use cases 5Ghz will be faster than 2.4GHz.

yeah, as long as you are on a lightly used network LTE has damn amazing ping for what it isI'd also rather not pay at least $50 extra for a feature I'll never use.

Also notable is that if you live in an apartment building (or similar) with tons of competing wireless networks saturating the airwaves, 5ghz can be a godsend (typically less of them around, and stronger reception albeit over shorter distances).
Like the PS3, its just not stated.
http://www.ign.com/blogs/chuck0latt...re-actually-universal-100-250vac-dual-voltage
I think only one PS3 model didn't have region free power.
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.
"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.)

Great to see 5GHZ confirmed, i was asking for this yesterday. Really hope that the adapter is in the dock, I don't see a good reason to have it external considering that the dock doesn't have internal components (except for hdmi circuitry and stuff like that). Non removable battery is pretty stupid on many levels.
About the 37W adapter, i'm wondering if power consumption is around 18-20W when docked, which would possibly indicate performances at least on par with TX1?
Well, people used the Wii U's power adapter back in the WUSTs to support their argument about the machine being weak, and they didn't end up being wrong. I know this doesn't give us specific numbers but maybe we can use it to make guesses about the ballpark.I wouldn't read too much into performance from the power supply, the maximum power draw is likely only when charging.

Glad they didn't skimp on wifi. Was a realistic possibility with this company.

Personally, i don't see a reason for a 37W adapter if the console draws 10W or less when docked, but maybe i'm missing something.
I don't know about this sort of thing, so perhaps you could help understand something. I had assumed games consoles were region locked with software and that, for consumer electronics in general, a universal power brick was used to save money in production and manufacturing.
What was I getting wrong? Is the pointing to region free based on Nintendo doing it before, the industry in general or something else?
