Hi All
I was just wondering if anyone here has attempted to measure the power consumption of the latest Mac Mini (2012) in sleep, and at idle and load? I have already seen the PDF on Apple's website quoting the figures at sleep and idle, but I'd be interested to know what forum member results might be?
I am considering leaving my Mini on 24/7 and controlling it remotely when I'm away, but concerned about how electricity is being used. As a new father, my budget is tight, energy prices (in the UK, about 20p per kWh) are high, and I'm trying to do things on a shoe string budget, especially since I got the 2.6GHz i7 mid-range unit as a part-xmas gift, and keen to use it!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
