recently I've given 3 reason why you should choose a laptop over a
desktop. I also state that one of the biggest advantage over desktop is
the ability to save energy but how can you save energy if your laptop
remains a slave to your wall outlet because it cannot last longer than
an hour? here are several means to make your laptops’ battery last
longer.
1. Darken your screen
Your laptop
screen is found to be the most power-hungry component of your laptop.
Your laptop screen needs high amount of battery power to maintain it’s
clear and luminous display. To preserve this power you can adjust it’s
brightness to a low level.
2. Modify power settings
Windows
Vista powered laptop comes with several outstanding power features. It
can help you get the most proficient performance when your laptop is
plugged and optimize it’s life when it’s on the move.
3. Turn off Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is
among the greatest battery power eater. It weakens your laptop’s battery
from perpetually absorbing power from the battery even if your not
online. If you are using your laptop outside from the wireless network
it is more advisable to just turn off your Wi-Fi to save some power. If
your laptop doesn’t have a function button to switch on or off your
wireless adapter you can just go to control panel, access the Network
Connections and disable it from there.
4. Switch off peripheral devices
USB sticks,
mouse and webcams are the primary offenders in sucking out your
batteries life. Utilizing USB devices also contributes in draining your
laptop’s power, disconnecting it when not in use, ejecting your devices
as soon as possible and switching off your laptop’s inbuilt webcam can
help conserve your laptop’s precious power.
5. Eject your disc drives
Having a
disc spinning around in the drive also drains your resources. Just kick
out your discs from the drive before you switch to battery power to
acquire additional minutes from your work day.
6. Invest in some computer hardware
Usually
laptops come with a six cell-battery, but a lot of makers today already
provides eight or even 12-cell elective upgrades, which will definitely
double your power. If you can afford it then why not invest more, in
the long run you will be surprise on how much energy and money you save
just by investing on the right piece.
7. Disable features
Windows
Vista has got new features, but most of them proves to be needless by a
ordinary user or even to some expert users. One good example is the
Windows Aero, switching it off not only it will help you save a small
amount of power but it will also make your laptop more proficient.
