Answer

Stone Computers laptop systems support the latest power-saving techniques when manufactured to extend the battery life, or run-time. You will need to configure your operating system to enable these technologies. Instructions for Microsoft Windows 7 are below.

Instructions

  • Click on the Start Symbol, and then click to go into Control Panel
  • Click on Hardware and Sound
  • Click on Power Options
  • Click on the Power Saver power plan to activate it. This will dim the screen slightly, and also reduce the laptop performance slightly to make it as efficient as possible, to increase the battery run-time.

Note: We recommend during normal use that you use the Balanced power plan as this will provide optimum performance.

  

Applies to:

  • All Stone laptop products.
