• Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad

  • You get all the functionality of Magic Keyboard, with an extended layout that makes it even easier to work and play. Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad includes document navigation controls — page up, page down, home, and end — and full-size arrow keys that are perfect for navigating pro apps, moving through spreadsheets, and playing games.

Acoustic Performance

Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109

1. L _{W A,m} is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.

2. L _{p A,m} is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).

3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)

4. K _v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.

5. The quantity, L _{W A,c} (formerly called L _{W Ad}) may be computed from the sum of L _{W A,m} and K _v .

6. The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.

7. Configuration tested: 3.7GHz 6-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, 2TB Fusion drive, Radeon Pro 580X Graphics.
