1. Dim the screen<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is the biggie. Even with energy-efficient LED backlighting on every ASUS laptop, your notebook\u2019s screen still sucks TONS of energy even though most of the time you don\u2019t really need your notebook at full brightness. So if you\u2019re in a dim lecture hall or studying late at night, dim your screen to 50% or even 30% for massive energy savings.

2. Turn off Wi-fi<\/strong>
\nYour notebook has a hard-switch for wi-fi for a reason! Your wireless antenna is constantly searching for connections and using up battery. If you\u2019re in lecture and busy taking notes, shutting off your wi-fi is a no brainer. Same thing goes for Bluetooth.<\/p>\n

3. Close Background Applications<\/strong>
\nHave a huge list of open applications on your taskbar? You\u2019re wasting power! Although Windows 7 represents a huge improvement here, those background applications are still using up CPU power. If you\u2019re not using Photoshop anymore or you\u2019re done with PowerPoint for the day, turn it off and reap the\u00a0Asus A32-f5 Battery<\/a> power savings.
\n <\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Put it to Sleep<\/strong>
\nIf you have your Asus F3 notebook set to \u201cdo nothing\u201d when you close the lid you\u2019re wasting energy! Set your notebook to \u201csleep\u201d or better yet, \u201chibernate\u201d, between classes for big power savings. Plus, your notebook won\u2019t heat up in your bag between classes and you won\u2019t have to worry about damaging your hard drive from impacts when moving around since it will be in sleep.

5. Get NVIDIA Optimus<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re currently in the hunt for a new Asus notebook you definitely want to get one with NVIDIA Optimus auto-switching technology! What Optimus does is enable you to have not one, but two graphic cards on your laptop computer.<\/p>\n

First, an Intel integrated graphics card that saves power and works great for things like word processing and web surfing, second, a powerful NVIDIA graphics card to kick in when you load a game or movie. NVIDIA Optimus switches seamlessly and automatically between the two so you are always using the most efficient card at all times.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
