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	1.25 (K v = 0.25)	3.5
Wireless web	1.25 (K v = 0.25)	3.5

1. L _W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.
2. L _p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 0.5 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: 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB memory, 512GB storage, Intel Iris Graphics 6100.

1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes and 1TB = 1 trillion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
2. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
3. Testing conducted by Apple in April 2015 using preproduction 2.2GHz quad-core Intel Core i7–based 15-inch MacBook Pro systems with 256GB of flash storage and 16GB of RAM. Testing conducted by Apple in February 2015 using preproduction 2.9GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units (wireless web test and HD movie playback test) and preproduction 2.7GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Pro units (standby test). 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/batteries for more information.
4. Siri may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area.
5. 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.
6. PVC-free AC power cord available in all regions except India and South Korea.
7. MacBook Pro achieved a Gold rating from EPEAT in the U.S. and Canada.
