Only in one review: Ripple 150 mV (5 V, 2 A power supply with microUSB plug).

24 V 2 A power supply (adapter, budget version): The stripped-down design overheats its transformer at 1.5 A; the author estimates sustained output at about 1 A.

5 V, 2 A power supply with microUSB plug: Works adequately up to about 1.5 A, but voltage sags at higher loads and it can interfere with some touchscreens.
