Microsoft\u2019s Windows 8 operating system focused on bringing the PC into the device age. It was Microsoft\u2019s hypothesis\u00a0that people didn\u2019t want a laptop and tablet. Instead, the company bet that there was a market for something in the middle. It hoped that it could create a device that could be both notebook and tablet PC. The Windows 8 device: Microsoft\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Surface Pro 3 was the first device in the series hat\u2019s come close to achieving it. \"hp-hstnn-ib75-battery\"<\/a>
\nSurface Pro 3 available in multiple flavors. There are versions with less powerful Intel Core i3 processors and high-end versions with more power and more storage. Each comes with a keyboard port, a full copy of Windows 8.1, a single USB port and a digital pen that allows users to take hand written notes with the push of a button. The only flaw with Surface Pro 3 is battery life. Microsoft\u2019s documents on the Surface Pro 3 indicate users can expect somewhere around 9 hours of battery life. That\u2019s in line with most notebooks, but not stellar for a tablet.\u00a0\u00a0Today\u00a0Australia\u00a0quality battery supplier: BattAussie battery experts share the tricks\u00a0for\u00a0get better Surface Pro 3 battery life.<\/p>\n

1. Save Power Hungry Apps for When You Have A Battery Charger<\/h3>\n

Maybe you\u2019re new to the Surface Pro 3 but you aren\u2019t new to mobile computing. If that\u2019s the case chances are that you\u2019ve noticed running some apps kills your battery a lot faster. The Surface Pro 3 is part notebook and part tablet so what apps you\u2019re running has an impact on the battery life you can expect.<\/p>\n

All Desktop apps aren\u2019t necessarily bad for battery life. Microsoft\u2019s Office suite of productivity apps are fine. Watching a movie in Windows Media Player or doing some light web browsing isn\u2019t necessarily bad either. What you have to keep an eye on are apps that put pressure on your Surface Pro 3\u2019s processor. Take Adobe Photoshop,\u00a0for example. Running Photoshop will kill your\u00a0Toshiba PA3537U-1BRS battery<\/a>\u00a0power a lot faster than browsing the web. You want to save anything that\u2019ll tax your processor and turn on your fan until you can charge.<\/p>\n

2. Adjust Your Surface Po 3 Settings<\/h3>\n

You can get better battery life starts with managing your Surface Po 3 settings.\u00a0The Surface Pro 3\u2019s spacious 12-inch display is great for editing documents, drawing or browsing the web. Powering that display takes up a lot of battery power though. You can\u2019t magically, shrink the Surface Pro 3\u2019s display but you can reduce the amount of power it consumes by dimming your Surface Po 3 brightness settings. To do so, place your finger on the\u00a0<\/span>right edge<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>of the display and slide it slightly to the right to reveal the Charms Bar.<\/p>\n

Surface Pro 3 has an ambient light sensor that detects how much light there is around you and adjusts screen brightness accordingly. If your Surface Pro 3 has already done this than you\u2019re already good to go. You can lower it even more if you find yourself in need of extreme\u00a0Dell inspiron b130 battery<\/a> power savings.<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0Turn Off\u00a0Wireless and Bluetooth<\/h3>\n

The next thing you\u2019re going to one to take a look at is wireless and Bluetooth settings. Every Surface Pro 3 is equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. These are what allow you to browse the internet or connect to a wireless keyboard, for example. You should turn these off when you\u2019re on a plane or in a situation where neither are of benefit to you.<\/p>\n

Hopefully above\u00a0tips could help you browse longer than normal and stay productive as long as you need to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
