Got Switch? get a portable Switch Dock.

Damn. Good luck!
I'm getting the Mario odyssey switch. So in the case of something happens I backed up my things on my laptop. Nkyo will keep there word and replace my damaged switch.
Honestly, I just bought it for the practicality of having a smaller dock, not for the portability. I don't like taking my Switch outside home, as weird as that sounds.

Not weird at all. Everyone has their own use cases. This portable dock will help you when you travel or at some point though

That isn't how save backups work. If you get a new switch, your saves won't transfer by just changing the memory card.
Regarding the Nyko portable dock, there was an article on Kotaku about it, which included a link to a Reddit thread with some people saying the USB-C port doesn't work after using the dock. Others in the same thread said it's working fine for them. Nyko also did a Reddit AMA per the article, and are stating on there that they'll replace the system if it happens.
Okay don't have much in the way of save data anyway but with the dock my tv doesn't seem to auto detect it.
This is actually what I am looking for but I wish there was an official sanctioned solution.
This isn't actually a solution for a portable dock but I actually had mild warping due to long BOTW sessions so I didn't want to keep it in that tiny heat trapping dock. I bought one of those Hori playstands and a USB-C cable with a male and female end. I plug one end into my dock and the other into my Switch which is perched on its stand and it works just like a dock but without the fear of being scratched or having heat issues.
I was looking for one of these for my laptop and this looks perfect.

I'm leaning toward the cable that was linked on Amazon, not just for travel but to have a secondary dock attached to my PC monitor for the times when I don't feel like going portable and my GF is using the TV.

Given the WiiU gamepad dock, Im surprised Nintendo didnt make something similar for the Switch.
I expect therell be a revision down th line.

I wish there was a small portable dock I could use for my bedroom and travels, one that doesn't require any electrical work.

I've heard/read good things about the insignia dock from best buy. It even comes with an additional ac adapter and hdmi cable. I don't have one myself but plan on buying one soon.
