Acoustic Performance

DECLARED NOISE EMISSIONS in accordance with ISO 9296

	Sound Power Level LWAd (B) 1 B = 10 dB		Sound Pressure Level Operator Position LpAm (dB)
	2.4 GHz	2.7 GHz	2.4 GHz	2.7 GHz
Idle	2.5	2.5	8.0	8.0
Hard drive accessing	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A

1. L_WAd is the statistical upper-limit A-weighted sound power level (rounded to the nearest 0.1 B).
2. L_pAm is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest dB).
3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).

4. Wireless web testing conducted by Apple in January 2013 using preproduction 2.7GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems and preproduction 2.6GHz dual‑core Intel Core i5‑based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 50%. Standby testing conducted by Apple in May 2012 using preproduction 2.6GHz quad-core Intel Core i7-based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems and in September 2012 using preproduction 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 13-inch MacBook Pro systems. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network, 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/batteries for more information.
5. PVC-free AC power cord available in all regions except China and South Korea.
