Hardware Haven did a video about chromeboxes running linux and their idle power draw was pretty impressive (being x86 they were sitting at 2-3w i believe)
Comment on What is your self hosted power draw?

There are USB chargers that use more than that sitting at idle.

Yeah that was my feeling. It seemed unrealistically low.
