Re: Watts Consumed by your PC - a Calculator
Of course, commenting further on an earlier thread:
During testing, our Mac mini was able to shine in this respect, drawing
a mere 20 watts of power; during DVD playback, this rose to only 28 W.
In contrast, the power requirements of current Intel-based PC systems
is anything but reasonable - under comparable conditions, these
power-hungry machines draw up to 160 W, as tests in our THG lab have
shown.
