Steam Frame needs 27-45W of power to run, and it can run off an additional battery (media.piefed.social)

Sounds to me like 27W is at most its peak power draw, and I bet there's even still buffer in that.

Yes, looks like it'll usually be pulling 20 watts or less. Still a lot though

This guy has one already through the developer program and make a few videos about it https://youtube.com/watch?v=MbFGt-KUv9M

Actually you are probably right, my other post of the climbey dev did show a way smaller power draw 🤔
