Tips to optimize Laptop Battery – Improve laptop battery life with laptop battery care


Optimizing laptop battery usage is very important to increase the battery life and performance.

Following are the Top 10 tips to optimize the laptop battery :

  • Buy smart: Look for notebooks with low power consuming processors like the Intel’s “CULV” “Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage” processors or AMD processors with “cool & Quiet” feature.
  • Dim screen brightness: Choose an environment with adequate lighting—less brightness means you’ll drain less power from your battery.Use the Function key (Fn) available in most of the laptops to dim the brightness.
  • Run your applications wisely: To get the most from your laptop, even when multitasking on the go, run resource intensive applications just when actively using them. Then make sure to close the applications you aren’t using.Running Video on the laptop will consume the battery very fast.Avoid to run video almost all time.
  • Close unused applications: Programs will still use power while sitting idle.Also some unrequired background processes can be closed using the task manager.Stop such processes from starting at boot.
  • Have the right RAM for your needs: With appropriate RAM, instructions run off memory instead of disk. Less power is needed to refresh the RAM than to spin the hard drive.So increasing the RAM in in the laptop with high resource usage works will highly improve the battery life.
  • Clean your battery: Rub the battery’s metal contacts with rubbing alcohol every two months. Allow to dry before re-inserting.
  • Remove extra accessories: Unplug items like PC cards, USB and FireWire devices that are not being used.
  • Use built-in power management devices: Enable this feature and set your system to “Battery Optimized” mode or “Max Battery” mode. Put your computer to sleep earlier and turn off the screen backlight sooner.Start > Control Panel > Power Options (in Classic View).
  • Disable Wi-Fi and Bluetooth if not being used: Wireless LAN and Bluetooth access uses power even when it is not in use. Transmitting and receiving data drains the battery.
  • Defragment your hard drive regularly: The built-in defrag utility included with Windows will take your file fragments and put them closer together on your hard drive, which will decrease hard drive access times and save battery life.

Games To Play Before You Die- Part 1


Solider of Fortune
This was a game that stirred up a lot of controversy for its dismemberment system wherein you could blow up individual limbs of your enemies. This game also boasted of a great plot, some really awesome cutscenes and great weapons. SOF was a true FPS but it was new and innovative, unfortunately the sequels couldn't live up to the original.




Medal of Honor Allied Assault
A true gem in World War Shooter genre, MOHAA is
a landmark in gaming. This is an authentic world war
experience that is largely responsible for converting
millions of gamers into virtual world war veterans.





Contra
Konami has many games to its credit but Contra is
probably the best of the lot. This simple 2D side scroller
is still one of the most additive games of all time, and
remains one of my favorite co-op experiences ever.
The sci-fi weapons, amazing level design and great boss
fights make Contra a memorable game.


Mario

The grandaddy of great gaming, Mario deserves a mention
in every gamer's list. Mario is a huge commercial success
on every platform, right from the 8-bit consoles to the current master of home consoles, the Nintendo Wii. Some of the best games in the series are Mario Bros (NES), Mario Cart on the Nintendo DS and Mario Galaxy on the Nintendo Wii.


Okami
Okami is one of those rare games that make you think and connect with you emotionally. Its storyline, highly inspired visuals and the subtle yet mesmerizing soundtrack make Okami a very special game. This is a game that takes some time getting used to, but once you get the basics right, there is a ton of great gameplay to be enjoyed.
