PowerPowerBattery
The notebook uses less power when the available power-management features are used. You
will then be able to work longer when using the ba ttery before having to recharge it.
Power efciency is increased and environmental pollution reduced. By
choosing the best power options, you can make signicant savings and
at the same time help protect the environment.
