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 the 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: 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB memory, 512GB storage, Intel HD Graphics 615.

1. 1GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.
2. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.
3. Testing conducted by Apple in March 2017 using preproduction 1.3GHz dual-core Intel Core i5-based 12-inch MacBook systems with a 512GB SSD 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 iTunes 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. 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.
5. MacBook achieved a Gold rating from EPEAT in the U.S. and Canada.
