1. TV, HH, TT
2. PC, JC, JCG
3. Not really, was excited for the feature, will use it more eventually. Haven't really had the opportunity to use it. It was TV mode and with sideways Joy-con when I did play local multiplayer.
4. I bought a case to bring it out but never felt like playing it when I've been out of the house in handheld mode. When I use handheld mode, it's mainly at home.
Bonus: I have brought the entire system, dock and all, to someone's house where I got to show off Zelda, but didn't get a chance to play local multiplayer. It really extremely convenient to take everything with you, easier than the Wii U which was still pretty small and I had all my games on a USB HDD, but that had the bulky Gamepad and the huge power brick.
Also, I really thought I'd be using handheld more since I've played my 3DS and the Wii U in Off-TV mode more than I played my Wii U or PS4 on TV, but I really like how snappy the OS is and how quickly it loads straight into a game out of sleep mode so it's made playing on TV just much more so much more painless.
It sounds weird, but before having the Switch, the commitment of having to sit down and play a game might turn me off playing a console game at times, but having the option to play the game wherever I want as well as quickly jump in or out of a game, has made playing on the TV much more appealing. It also helps that BotW is a game I really love to experience on a big screen, although, I have taken it out of the dock and find myself still playing it in handheld mode an hour later. Having gaming truly adapt to my life rather than me having to adapt to it is huge. I mean the alternative up until now is playing different games in different circumstances, and while the Switch doesn't fill that gap for me of where I might play a quick game on my smartphone while I'm waiting in line at the post office or something like that since it's just not that portable, it is a pretty stellar replacement for a handheld, even for a console, and potentially for a tablet as soon as they roll out Netflix and YouTube apps.
