hello once again, all accessindians! some of you must be wondering, why too many posts today?? well, its just because i'm little free from my college today. anyways, back on the topic and reason of this post in my last post, i've tryed to cover the basic requirements of a good laptop. however, i forgot 1 very important point, that is, batterys. since laptop is a portable machine, battery do play an important role. before buying a laptop, make sure that your battery backup is more then 2 and half hour. a powerfull laptop, with little battery, is of no use.
few tips to improve your battery time: 1. try not to multy task. multy tasking needs processor attention, and it eats up your power. 2. avoid music at all time. if you have to listen to it, try to use headphones. oh and yeah, intex can be good brand for headphones. 3. the architecture of some processors are designed as step up power. which, in simple language means, if you are on AC power while booting and then power shuts, your processor eats up more power. solution to this is, try to boot the computer on battery and then plug in the power. that way, your processor will eats up less power. 4. terminate any unnecessary process running while starting your computer. to do this, go to start menu, then to run or, hit windows key +r. type in msconfig hit ctrl + tab til u hear something like, startup tab. tab once again, and you will be in the list of applications the jaws will say, "checked" followed by the application name. hit space bar, if you do not want that application to automatically load. note: let anti virus applications and anty addware/malwar softwares load at startup, they keep things safe and secure. 6. if you can, low down the volume of speakers while on the battery backup power. 7. do not use many USB devices while useing the battery. each USB device that is attached, eats power. even, a simple memory card inside card reader can result in 3% total loss of the battery backup time. 8. cycle the battery once in month. cycle means, fully charge the battery, and run the laptop til the battery gets below then 5% this insures that battery can be fully used when needed. however, newer batterys do not have this constrains, but its always good to keep this in practice hope these things can be help to some of you. regards, ruchir. -- As long as forever, I will stay by your side, I'll be your companion, Your friend and your guide!!!
