I use Mi WiFi Range Extender AC1200 (on AP mode), which consumes 0.3 A (the label only list the ampere instead of watt). I live on 220V AC country, so:
- 220V * 0.3A = 66W
- google "how many hour in a month" = 730 hours
- 66 W / 1000 W * 730 hours = 48.18 kWh / month
I am a bit skeptical about the power that this router use, should be just using around 7W instead of 66W, I am thinking of buying a power meter to get the real power usage. and will change my router if this router really consumes too much electricity
That sounds like way too much. It's more likely it makes use of DC power at 5V or 12V: the fact it has an integrated adapter from AC to DC only means it's harder to figure this out.
A first AC/DC adapter I grabbed has an input of 0.1A at 230V and output of 0.5A at 10V. If your device has got a similar ratio (there is nothing to say it does, though :)), you are looking at 3A at 5V or 15W max.
Agree, listing only 0.1 A without saying at what voltage is is not informative. Recently bought a power meter and it says it actually only consumes 2.4W. I posted my correction on the replies above
Fantastic. We've using both managed service and in-house solution (debezium + kafka) for CDC from transactional to analytics. Looking forward to see this on Airbyte.
I have notes from when I was researching around 2018. I had the Razer Blade Stealth in the running, but I was reading about support and longevity issues with them. Maybe they've been better recently? It's difficult to build a track record of longevity.
I've had stellar longevity out of Apple hardware. I'm usually able to use it for a handful of years and sell it on ebay to put a good chunk towards something new. I have noticed certain models/runs have specific issues, laptop keyboards are probably the most recent and obvious, but for the most part you know what you're getting. Screen lamination problems or pinched monitor cable being a few others.
When looking at alternatives saving only around 20% on the cost made it difficult when not being confident about longevity or resale. Sadly, other aspects weren't appreciably better (soldered on RAM, camera quality, performance, battery).

Razer still has hilariously bad product management.
One of their newest (non-hardware) launches is Razer Pay, a QR payment and Visa prepaid solution for Southeast Asia. It's been around since mid-2018, but they've just launched their prepaid card in Singapore.
The app and backend quality is below average for a large company like Razer (think: multiple incidents of double charging, and authorisation charges not being refunded), and has the app's UI is ugly.
