8. Satellite Power Management
A notebook is nothing without power management. Together, the 15" display and the PentiumIII processor (800MHz or 850MHz) really eat up the battery while you're on the road. Therefore, you must find the optimal balance between performance and battery life. To help you with this, Transmeta has its LongRun system, and ASUS models with PentiumIII have the Intel Speedstep program, just to name a couple of examples. Toshiba also has a convenient power utility called Power Saver, which contains very detailed settings.
Next to the AC Power setting there are three different preinstalled battery settings: Battery Optimized, Normal and Maximum Performance.
These settings will ensure the longest possible battery life. There are four options for processor speed: Full = 100% performance, High = 75% performance, Mid = 50% performance and Low = 25% performance.
