specifications
both platforms power consumption
As an ENERGY STAR partner, HP has determined that this product meets the
ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency (standard base models).
These are “typical” values given for the standard base models.
NOTE When the PC is turned off with the power button on the front panel, the power
consumption falls below 5 Watts, but is not zero. The special on/off method
used by this PC extends the lifetime of the power supply. To reach zero power
consumption in “off” mode, unplug the AC adapter from the power outlet or
unplug the AC adapter from the HP e-pc. If the PC is turned off, the time
settings are maintained by the battery indefinitely (until the battery runs out
of power).

The values are given for the standard configuration as shipped and can vary
depending on the actual components used.
