zPress the power saving quick button ( 
) to enter into power saving mode when using battery power.
zDo not disable Power Management.
zDecrease the LCD brightness to the lowest comfortable level.
zShorten the length of time before Windows turn off the display.
zMany USB devices use power just by being connected. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by disconnecting the mouse and using the touchpad. If you use a USB flash drive, unplug it when you are not using it.
zRemove the card (such as PC card, ExpressCard, and Smart Card) if not using it.
zTurn off the wireless radio if you are not using the wireless module (such as WLAN, Bluetooth, or 3G).
zTurn off the computer when you are not using it.
