What about the small batteries in the joycons do they help provide console power in portable mode. Would seem wierd if they just take their power off the main tablet in portable mode so those batteries remain charged when used as a portable and yet when you put the tablet on the table with the little stand they will need to be charged for wireless operation then.
Docked mode definitely can take much more current. 8.6w is 1.72A at 5V and its only the gpu that will need more power plus perhaps some additional power for usb output etc. I guess 3A output would cover it plus allow some charging current too or 3.5-5A would allow more rapid charging plus docked performance.
