  1. LWA,m is the mean A-weighted sound power level, rounded to the nearest 0.05 B.

  2. LpA,m is the mean A-weighted sound pressure level measured at the operator position (rounded to the nearest 0.5 dB).

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

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

  5. The quantity, LWA,c (formerly called LWAd) may be computed from the sum of LWA,m and KV.

  6. The Wireless web test browses 25 popular websites.

  7. Configuration tested: 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB memory, 256GB flash storage.

  2. Testing conducted by Apple in March 2014 using preproduction 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 13-inch MacBook Air units and preproduction 1.4GHz dual-core Intel Core i5–based 11-inch MacBook Air units. The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The HD movie playback test measures battery life by playing back HD 720p content with display brightness set to 12 clicks from bottom or 75%. The standby test measures battery life by allowing a system, connected to a wireless network and signed into an iCloud account, to enter standby mode with Safari and Mail applications launched and all system settings left at default. Battery life varies by use and configuration. See www.apple.com/uk/batteries for more information.

  3. Weight varies by configuration and manufacturing process.

  4. Requires Internet access. 802.11ac is based on an IEEE draft specification.

  5. Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the Mac App Store for qualifying Mac computers purchased on or after October 1, 2013. OS X Mavericks required. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

  6. PVC-free AC power cord available in all regions except India and South Korea.
