Mac OS X Snow Leopard appears to be more efficient in energy consumption
According to tests conducted by CNET, Mac OS X Snow Leopard appears to be a more efficient system in all respects. Not only because of the increased speed and new technologies including, apparently the more efficient energy consumption in the new cat.
After several tests, where we have used a MacBook Pro 17 “, the results were very similar with small differences lower for the latest version of Mac OS X, 10.6. These subtle tenths cause small savings individually, but really important when we consider what will be many computers that are upgraded to the new system.
Moreover, as many have already commented, that power management is more palpable in portable equipment where battery life has increased a few minutes on the previous version and reduced the heat generated.
