Nintendo has confirmed the new dock that comes with the Nintendo Switch (OLED Model) will also be available as a separate purchase on the Nintendo Store. No price was given, however, Nintendo sells the original dock for $59.99.
"The white dock and black dock will be sold separately (no HDMI cable, no AC adaptor, not in a package) on the Nintendo online store," a Nintendo spokesperson told Digital Trends. "It will not be sold at retail."
The new dock is very similar to the previous dock, but it has replaced the USB port on the inside with a LAN port.
Nintendo this week announced a new Nintendo Switch model - The Nintendo Switch (OLED model). It will launch on October 8 for $349.99 and be available in White and Neon Red / Neon Blue color variations.
The Nintendo Switch (OLED model) does not have any major internal improvements as it has the same CPU and the same amount of RAM.
The new model includes a 7-inch OLED screen, a new dock with a wired LAN port, 64GB of internal storage, and enhanced audio for handheld and tabletop play. The battery life will be up to nine hours, which is the same as the current Switch model.

Might get it so my Switch matches my PS5 :p
I'm probably more interested in the dock than the actual switch. Always kind of wanted a second dock. The price was and still is the sticking point though.
My Switch has had problems with over-heating, so if this dock has better heat vents, then I'll strongly consider it.
Maybe but I don't know how much it would help until someone tests it. Check the vents to see if there's a lot of dust in it/blocking the intakes.
That's nice, I suppose. Probably won't get one because the only improvement I can think of is the addition of an ethernet port. If it allowed the tablet to go in both ways or added more protection against dings and scuffs, I'd be more interested.
