ASUS Mini PC PB60 Review

Power Consumption

We measured the power consumption at the mains socket when idle and when running the Maxon Cinebench R15 CPU render.

We don't have specific comparisons here, but when you consider that a full tower PC workstation might draw 100W or more when idle, and 400-500W when at full chat, this is a very miserly machine when it comes to power consumption. Sure, it will be doing way less work than a huge tower workstation, but most of the time it will be drawing more like the idle value, so this will be a very economical PC to run. It's also so quiet we didn't see the point in measuring its acoustic output because the background ambience was noisier.
