Acoustic Performance
Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109
Sound Power Level LWA,m (B) | Sound Pressure Level Operator Position LpA,m (dB) | |
---|---|---|
Idle | 1.25 (KV=0.25) | 3.5 |
Wireless web | 1.25 (KV=0.25) | 3.5 |
LWA,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.
LpA,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 0.5 dB).
1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel)
KV is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.
The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd) may be computed from the sum of LWA,m and KV.
The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.
Configuration tested: 1.2GHz dual-core Intel Core M processor, 8GB memory, 512GB storage, Intel HD Graphics 5300.

Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
Testing conducted by Apple in February 2015 using preproduction 1.2GHz Intel Core M-based 12-inch MacBook systems (wireless web test and HD movie playback test) as well as preproduction 1.2GHz Intel Core M-based 12-inch MacBook systems and preproduction 1.3GHz Intel Core M-based 12-inch MacBook systems (standby test), all configured with 512GB of flash storage and 8GB of RAM. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 1080p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed in to an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.
Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Yosemite or later required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.
