[QUOTE="Ex Win, post: 1392353, member: 247381"] I am currently trying to switch to an Imac but have held off a purchase for now til I get clarification of power draw. I work often from my motorhome, so I would use the Imac through an inverter, therefore how much power the Imac draws is very relevant to me. The Apple site tells me the 21 inch 2.5gig Imac draws 205 watts, which is only .8 of an amp. That seems way too low. However when I tested it drew 10 amps through the inverter. My friend has a 2 year old 3.1gig 21 inch Imac, and when I tested that, it drew only 6 amps through the inverter. Can anyone shed any light on the current draw and why there is such discrepancy please? [/QUOTE]
