New Raspberry Pi releases today

No, from all accounts it uses less in most applications, however it also depends on your application (if you are driving it hard using all 4 cores) and how many peripherals you hang off of it. It you are going to load it up with wifi dongle, LCD's, camera and other USB devices you need to account for that.

The recommended supply is 1.5A to 2A IIRC.

Edit: FWIW I have been running openelec my Pi 2 with USB wireless kbd/mouse adapter and wired ethernet on a 1200mV Nokia charger for the last few days and it's rock solid on that.

What would I need to power it with a 2tb USB drive and wireless kbd/mouse?
 
I don't alas, but seems like there is lots out there.

How come you didn't order with your 0 then?

I have to admit I like 'em nekkid :D

Because there where not any available then, as now ... - locally

If I knew someone who had a 3D printer, I would have printed one long ago, ... :D
 
You bought your 0 locally? Don't think so.

Still as rare as the proverbial rocking horse turd.
