[QUOTE="bmann, post: 285943, member: 19867"] I checked this using a special in-line plug that measures loading, UK power supply 230V 50Hz. mac mini switched on but doing nothing 24W playing divx video 25W Sleeping 14.4W Completely switched off 12W don't leave this bad boy switched on at the wall when not in use, 12W equates to around 10GBP or 20USD per year. I checked the OFF consumption of my sony laptop, it was <0.01W. this amounts to environmental terrorism by apple. Wikipedia suggests the US phantom load could power Vietnam, Peru & Chile, thanks Apple. [/QUOTE]
