Acoustic Performance

Declared noise emission values in accordance with ECMA-109

1. L W A,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.1 B.

2. L p A,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at operator position (rounded to the nearest 1 dB).

3. 1 B (bel) = 10 dB (decibel).

4. K v is the statistical adder for computing upper-limit of A-weighted sound power level.

5. The quantity, L W A,c (formerly called L W Ad) may be computed from the sum of L W A,m and K v .

6. The wireless web test browses 6 tabs with a mix of content including media.

7. Configuration tested: M4, 10-core CPU, 10-core GPU, 24GB unified memory, 512GB storage.
