A battery, screen saver around.

10. Electricity access options

Power Management “Explore the Power Options applet in Control Panel.” XP and Vista as advanced management and control of electricity coming from / or from the hard drive specified time.

Similar settings can be found under ‘Mobile PC’ in the Control Panel of Vista/7.

11 turn  off the looks.




Such as today’s Windows Vista operating system comes with features like Aero “glass, which is resource greedy. You turn off the “outside the classic ‘look, which uses less energy can be. In Vista desktop – settings – display color – form – Classic design and basic graphical interface, click Windows. XP’s – Display Properties - Themes – Windows Classic.

Linux and Mac is still better suited for longer battery life.

12 hibernate is better than sleep

Standby mode (or sleep), is running on a computer hard disk and screen, but the memory is still active while the processor brake. It is based on batteries. In contrast, sleep better, because the computer saves the current situation and closes, and saves energy.

RAM too, virtual memory, which is common as a burden on your hard disk reduces. Although each additional RAM and more energy efficient, using power-hungry hard drive to cut down the total savings would increase.

15 Keep It Clean

Generate more heat off a laptop with air vents and will reduce battery life. Lower operating temperature over time to keep vents clear. Opening of the surrounding open space for air circulation is expected. Prevent entry of dust around a notebook to keep clean.

16 temperature is a silent killer

Excessive heat kills batteries slowly but surely. In direct sunlight or a closed car going into the laptop must be avoided.

17 Avoid memory effect

For large problem with the old Ni MH battery for Li – ion battery, which most modern laptop. When partial performance after the end of the memory effect battery rechargeable battery. The battery can be avoided completely and is fully charged, then discharged. Li – ion batteries, on the other hand, partial and full vacation leave and have no problem with refilling is not recommended for this type.

Seems a bit contradictory, but often new drivers and software efficiently (and hopefully less expensive is designed for hunger).
