Here are some "leaked" specs I found

Basically a copy/paste of the X1 specs on Wiki. Also not an unsurprising amount of RAM either. It's probably just someone guessing but even so, it's about what we should expect.
Most consumer grade SSDs max out the SATA interface at around 550MB/s. You'd expect 32GB to run a bit slower because it's a small amount. Flash runs in parallel, higher capacities generally means more speed. So again, it might be just someone guessing but they're probably right.
edit: Though for comparison's sake. The average 2.5" HDD sits at ~85MB/s and a Blu-Ray sits at about half that again. So it's still going to be pretty fast if the above is correct. Which it should given it's flash based.
Completely in-line with the rumours that have ended up being on the money so far. You'd have to be pretty brave to predict something other than this. Plus you can see the size of the screen in the trailer anyways and you can see the USB ports. You can't tell the screen resolution obviously but even then, are there many other reasonable options for a 6" screen? 1080p would be unnecessary and 480p is a bit low.
In other words HDMI 1.4. The same as the Wii U, PS4 and XBOne. Less than the XBOne S and PS4 Pro which are both using HDMI 2.0. In any case, not so hard to sound correct with this one either.

"Nintendo Switch is powered by the performance of the custom Tegra processor. The high-efficiency scalable processor includes an NVIDIA GPU based on the same architecture as the world's top-performing GeForce gaming graphics cards."
The quote from Nvidias blogpost suggest it is Pascal, not Maxwell. Which makes sense, since it is both more powerful and less power hungry.
@Therad
Definitely, and that point about power efficiency is important in terms of battery life. Currently there are Nvidia Tegra based tablets on the market. From what I can tell the ones that use Maxwell are super high end with massive batteries. Then there's the Shield Tablet which was Kepler based. So the Switch should be more power efficient then either. If anything benchmarks of their battery performance would probably be a bit conservative. Here's what I found:
Google Pixel C: Maxwell based, 10.2" OLED screen, 34Wh battery
Web Browsing: 13 hours
Video Playback: 13 hours
Heavy CPU load: 5 hours
NVidia Shield Tablet: Kepler Based, 8" LCD display, 19Wh battery
Web Browsing: 11 hours
Video Playback: 11 hours
Heavy CPU load: 3 hours
Wii U GamePad: Basically a shell, 6.2" LCD display
5Wh battery: 4 hours
9Wh battery: 8 hours
