Acoustic Performance
Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
Sound Power Level L W A,m (B) | Sound Pressure Level Operator Position L p A,m (dB) | |
---|---|---|
Idle | 1.3 (K V = 0.3) | 5 |
Wireless web | 1.4 (K V = 0.3) | 5 |
L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.
L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).
1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)
K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
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 .
The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.
Configuration tested: 3.0GHz 6-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, 256GB Fusion Drive, Intel UHD graphics 630.
1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
Acoustics measured from typical operator position sitting in front of standard Mac mini system. Acoustics may vary by configuration.
iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are available on the Mac App Store. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID and a device that is compatible with the OS version required for each app.
