Laptop energy-saving settings tips

Desktop using alternating current, most computer user may not pay great attention to energy-saving features on computers, But use battery-powered laptops, the use of energy-saving features should be taken seriously. How to design computer hardware more energy-saving, this is not the problem user shouldsolve.Users can do is set the computer to effectively use the energy saving option.
Energy-saving setting, there are two require the user to adjust: First, the computer BIOS Setup program settings on the energy saving mode; the most important is the operating system such as Windows 98 has many energy-saving settings and operation. Computer system in the actual implementation, Windows system should take precedence over energy-saving settings in the CMOS settings.

1. Energy-saving settings in BIOS

In the CMOS settings,Most have a “Power Savings”, which can choose to “Maximum Battery Life”, and “Maximum Performance” and other options. “Maximum Battery Life” is the default energy-saving mode setting. Laptop xps m1530 battery power saving mode in several states, such as the Idle Mode, Standby Mode, Suspend Mode. These settings on the laptop, was able to regulate power consumption, mainly because when the computer into energy-saving state, it timely closure the system equipment which is not required. For example, in wait state, close the display and hard drive; into hibernation, in addition to close the display and hard drive, but also the contents of memory can be saved to the hard disk, the basic maintenance of the entire computer system shut down state, once activated, or restart the computer,Desktop will be exactly restored to the state before dormancy.

The energy-saving settings in the CMOS, mainly set the Standby Timeout time of Enter Standby Mode from the Idle Mode.Phoenix BIOS notebooks are most common. Different energy-saving BIOS settings may be different, should carefully read the screen prompts

2. Energy-saving settings in Windows

For general users, in the Windows system the energy management operations may be more simpler to understand. Windows help files, in the “management hardware and software” entries, there are two notebook computers Dell inspiron 1525 1526 Battery energy-related elements: “Energy Management” and “use of portable machine” in the “management of portable computer power.”you should read the content before making windows energy saving settings  

In the Windows “Control Panel”, click “Power Management”, you can open the “Power Management Properties” dialog box.in the “Power Management Properties” dialog box, The “power scheme” should be set to “Portable / Laptop” and rationalize “the system to wait”, “close Monitors”, ” turn off hard disk “and other options. Different computer control the options have some differences, the new factory and the latest computer software will be more workable option, Detailed settings should be based on the functions of the computer itself and the Windows Help file

If you need to completely run out of dell xps m2010 battery in power, no need to find something else discharge channels, Only in the “Power Management Properties” dialog box setting “the power to use the program” to “always open”, the “system standby” and “close the monitor display is” set options such as “never”, The computer can also automatically run a number of computational complexity program, 3D demo program, this will soon run out of battery power remaining, of course,do these operations do not forget to unplug the AC plug
