2011 Mini power draw?

[scenemissing]

Any of you lucky Mini owners have access to a kill-a-watt? I was looking to see what the current power numbers are. Apple has a kbase article detailing all the previous units, but it hasn't been updated yet:

Thanks in advance!

Here's Apples official environmental report: http://images.apple.com/environment/reports/docs/MacMini_PER_20110720.pdf

usage = power draw

...Here's Apples official environmental report

nothing against the post (thanks for the 'official" numbers)...

i'd trust a kill-a-watt way more than a 'cupertino report' on actual usage numbers. idle, really, why do they measure a system that no one is using???

my POS pickup gets a 1000mpg when it's idle and not being used... GREEN!

I am running safari only.

my kill a watt reads 9 watts. give me some time for more readings.

just attached the macbook air super drive and the watts jumped to 14 will a movie running.

Awesome. Post a few more readings when you have a chance.

Thanks for the info. I was on the chat with an Apple rep for about a half hour today, just to be told that it was still 10 watts at idle. I had asked about the 2.5 ghz Mini, however, so glad to have this cleared up.

I now pull 42 watts. I am playing a dvd and I am on safari keyboard is wired to the mini.
