[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1648698, member: 56379"] Just for the heck of it I thought that I would do the math for the amount of energy used by a 27" iMac sleeping for a year.:) From this 2013 document (below) it states that a 27" iMac while sleeping consumes roughly 1 watt (actually 0.96-0.98 of a watt)...while sleeping. [url]https://www.apple.com/environment/reports/docs/27inch_iMac_product_environmental_report_sept2013.pdf[/url] Doing the math...a 27" iMac sleeping for a year would consume (at 1 watt/hour) 8760 watts...or 8.760 kilowatts. FYI...there are 8760 hours in 1 year.:) At my particular electricity rate here in the United States...I pay roughly 5.5 cents/kilowatt hour. Thus 5.5 cents/kilowatt hour x 8.760 kilowatt hours = 48.18 cents/year So at my electricity rate...it would cost me 48.18 cents/year to let a 27" iMac sleep for 365 days straight. Not too bad.:) - Nick p.s. Of course this cost will vary depending on each individuals electricity rate.:) [/QUOTE]
