How Much Electricity Does an Apple iBook G4 Use?
I still use an old Apple iBook G4, it's so old and well used several keys are missing. But just how much energy does it use? I tested in various modes with as few applications in use as possible and the battery removed;Normal: 21 - 28W
Better Performance: 23 - 30W
Energy Saving Mode: 21 - 27W
Screen Brightness at Lowest: 18 - 23W
Device Attached (iPhone): 8 - 12W (additional)
Device Attached (full battery): 4W (additional)
Energy Saving Ideas for your Apple iBook G4
- Use the settings for "best battery life" from the menu bar
- Turn off Bluetooth and Wifi when not required
- Close programs not in use
- Shut down rather than allow the computer to snooze

Please Note the energy use figures are taken from an energy monitor and are not scientifically analysed, therefore the range and margin of error is greater. If you would like a specific product tested let us know and we will endeavour to check it out.

Hi Nice Blog .If you fast forward through your play list, ipod battery will need to fill its cache more frequently, thus accessing the hard drive more often and using more power. This will decrease overall battery life.
