Laptop Power Management

People always had a confusion between whether to buy a laptop or a desktop?... Now this confusion has taken some different form and choices are between a laptop or a tablet? addition to this competition is a large screen smart phone.
In fact, the reality is you can not replace the use of any of the device with one another. I always have one advice and that is buy as per your usage preference. One of my friend is a professional writer who travels places and writes, for him we bought a netbook which is easy to carry and performs as per his requirement. In a nutshell, if you just want to browse internet TAB would also suffice your requirement, if there is some core work you need laptop or netbook.

People prefer using internet with mobile devices which can be carried anywhere such as Laptop/Netbook. The major problem that people face is of power, there are some tips which might help you efficiently manage power and battery life.
  • The biggest enemy of any mobile device is the Heat. Hardware designs are improving but still a lot of things are assembled in such a small space, thus heat generation is unavoidable. Use of good quality cooling pad helps to reduce heat.  
  • Never use Laptops on spongy surface, it creates a problem in heat ventilation. Use it on hard flat surface. Heat impacts motherboard, hard drive. 
  • Any kind of battery looses life with charge and discharge. Using a laptop on continuous power supply is also not advisable. Use power supply only for charging the battery, after full charge remove power supply. If you want to use laptop at a desk only. Remove the battery and use it on External power only.
  • Use Sleep and Hibernate modes to save battery while not using. 
  • Always set your power plans in control panel according to use, Helps battery to last longer.
