I keep reading these posts saying Wi-Fi is a power hog. I just ordered a pair 
of Raspberry Pi Zero W boards to find out...  All the web sites say that the 
"W" version adds 20 mA to the power consumption of the non-wireless Zero board. 
Presumably that's with the Wi-Fi not heavily loaded...  If the board takes 70 
to 100 mA with the Wi-Fi off, adding another 20 mA does not seem like a major 
disadvantage. I'm sure if you were uploading camera video, that would go way 
up, but for an occasional switch change or temperature reading I'd expect the 
idle value most of the time. 
 
Am I missing something important here, or are people thinking older generations 
of Wi-Fi?
