Notes
Power consumption data (watts) is measured from the wall power source and includes all power supply and system losses. Additional correction is not needed.
“Max” is defined as running a compute-intensive test application that maximises processor usage and therefore power consumption. No external peripherals are attached during testing.
“Idle” reflects the power used with only Finder open, using the default power management settings.
These numbers reflect a 20.2°C (68.4°F) ambient running environment. Increased ambient temperatures require faster fan speeds, which increases power consumption.
