How to get more laptop battery life out of Asus F3 notebook
With that much running time you can easily “say no to power cords” – leave your power cord at home and use your notebook for a whole day of lectures and tutorials without having to worry about finding an outlet to charge up between classes. Today battaussie.com laptop battery expert share a few easy tips to maximize your Asus a32-f3 laptop battery life:
1. Dim the screen
This is the biggie. Even with energy-efficient LED backlighting on every ASUS laptop, your notebook’s screen still sucks TONS of energy even though most of the time you don’t really need your notebook at full brightness. So if you’re 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
Your 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’re in lecture and busy taking notes, shutting off your wi-fi is a no brainer. Same thing goes for Bluetooth.
3. Close Background Applications
Have a huge list of open applications on your taskbar? You’re wasting power! Although Windows 7 represents a huge improvement here, those background applications are still using up CPU power. If you’re not using Photoshop anymore or you’re done with PowerPoint for the day, turn it off and reap the Asus A32-f5 Battery power savings.
4. Put it to Sleep
If you have your Asus F3 notebook set to “do nothing” when you close the lid you’re wasting energy! Set your notebook to “sleep” or better yet, “hibernate”, between classes for big power savings. Plus, your notebook won’t heat up in your bag between classes and you won’t have to worry about damaging your hard drive from impacts when moving around since it will be in sleep.
5. Get NVIDIA Optimus
If you’re 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.
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.
