Working with the notebook
Using the energy saving functions
If you use the available energy saving functions, the notebook uses less energy. You will then be
able to work longer when using the battery before having to recharge it.
This increases the energy efficiency of your system, reducing the effects on the
environment.
If you optimise your use of the power saving options, you can make significant savings
and protect the environment at the same time.
