Apple has made a name for itself by introducing energy saving technologies, such as their lithium-polymer battery and A5 chip, with the promise that these devices will give us the ability to use laptops and tablets for an extended amount of time without needing an outside power source, putting other laptop brands to shame. This experimental project aims to investigate whether these claims are accurate. Using the WattsUp Pro, we compare power usage from Apple products and their competitors, including personal computers, Droid mobile phones, Blackberries, and netbooks. We expect that Apple products will generally use less energy than their rivaling products.
