5 Easy Ways to Extend Laptop’s Battery Life

Today, there are more laptops sold in PC market as compared to desktops. So, there must be some advantages over traditional PCs. One of them is the mobility of laptop computers. It’s obvious that we like light and thin laptops but without battery it is no more than a paperweight. Almost every laptop on average has a battery life of about 3-4 hours. So what if you could do something to increase your laptop’s battery life a bit more – hopefully a few extra hours.
Here’s a guide for you which will focus on how to increase battery life of Laptop PCs.

Close Background Running Applications

In simple terms, anything your laptop does requires power. Therefore, when your laptop is running on battery you should shut down application that you aren’t using instead of minimizing it to Windows taskbar.
This important to extend laptop’s battery life because all these add to the CPU load and consumes battery power.

Turn Down Display Brightness

Laptop’s screen with lager display (14-inch to 18-inch) is the single component that consumes a lot of battery power. To avoid this battery loss you can lower down screen brightness to the dimmest setting you can tolerate.
However, you might need to increase brightness depending on where you are. For example, if you’re sitting under direct sunlight you’ll have to increase screen brightness.

Turn off Bluetooth and Wireless Connections

You need laptop’s Bluetooth and wireless connection to send and receive file or to connection with people around the world. But when you aren’t using these connections turn them off.
Because, both Bluetooth and WiFi connections (3G, 4G Broadband) drains a portion of battery juice by sending and receiving wireless signal data.

Setup & Optimize Power Option

The Windows operating system allows you to setup and optimize battery power supply. In control panel find power option and set it up as per your requirement.
There are two basic and three additional power plans which can help you maximize your laptop computer’s performance or conserve energy.

Use Hibernate Option Over Standby

Although in standby mode your laptop recovers your data quickly as it is stored in RAM. It drains out battery while running on low power mode, but still on.
On the other hand, hibernating your laptop completely shut it down and doesn’t use any power. In this mode your data is saved to your hard disk and not RAM. So, this option is much safer but slows down shut down and resumes.

By following these methods you can easily increase your laptop’s battery life by hours in some case. Even when not extending battery life these tweaks helps  you improve system performance.

How To Increase Internet Speed of Your Laptop & Desktop PC

Even in the word of high speed internet connection you might get stuck with slow internet connection. This could happen to you anywhere – office, home, school or even while travelling. Many people think that slow internet speed is down to to their broadband provider.
But sometimes it could be due to computer setting, wireless hardware or an old PC.
To solve this problem here are some tips that you can follow to boost your internet connection speed.

Basic Computer Maintenance

It’s not always that your internet connection has slowed. Sometimes, it’s just a sign that your computer is infected with viruses or other malware. So, run Disk Defrag, scan disk, virus scan (e.g. Norton, McAfee etc.) and malware scan.
This is important because sometimes your broadband speed may not be affected, but since your computer is infected it would not response well. And this can essentially lead to the same symptom of slow broadband Internet connection speed.

Switch off Broadband Router and PC

If your broadband connection speed seems to have slowed. The first step you should take is to switch off your broadband router and your PC (Laptop/Desktop) and then switching them on again. Because sometimes even a simplest solution can fix apparently complex problems.

Delete Cache & Temporary Files

Deleting cache and temporary internet files can improve your broadband internet connection speed by not fetching the same file over and over. In Internet Explorer, you can do this by opening “Tools” tab at the top and choosing “Internet Options”.
Here, under the General tab you will find an option to delete cache, temporary internet files, cookies etc. click on it and you are done.

Block Flash & JavaScript

If you are having bandwidth issue or having really slow internet speed then I suggest you to block flash and java-scripts. To do this, you can install Adblock Plus and Flashblock extension if using Firefox, or use a solution specific for Google Chrome. Remember, by blocking flash and java-scripts you may not be able to access some areas of few websites.

Use Google Public DNS

To speed up your broadband internet connection you can Google Public DNS as an alternative to your current DNS provider. It’s a free global Domain Name System (DNS) resolution. Now the question is how to configure your network setting to use Google Public DNS?

Well, Google has published that on Google Developers website. There, you’l find how to configure your network setting on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux etc.

Use Google Voice Search On Your Desktop

It was bound to happen. Google Voice Search can now be done from your desktop and laptop without clicking any button, directly from the Chrome browser. Similar to how Google Glass users say OK Glass to activate actions, OK Google is the new way to talk to Google … and this brings the power of Google search to your desktop.

Google Voice Search

If you visit the Google.com on any Google Chrome, you can anyway click the microphone icon and start speaking for Google to initiate a Google search. But if you install the Google Voice Search Hotword Chrome extension, then when you visit Google.com, your microphone stays active listening to when you say ‘OK Google‘, which is the keyword phrase that prompts it to initiate a search for whatever is spoken after that.

See this video on how this works

Although they claim this works right now in English language in the US only, I was easily able to install and run this extension in India. See how my Google.com form has changed to show ‘Say OK Google”.

And when I say some keywords, it recognizes them easily and outputs a search result. It is amazing how accurately Google can recognize speech (though it is preferable to speak slowly and clearly for best results).

So what are you waiting for, download the chrome extension and start talking to Google without a keyboard!

How To Keep Laptops In Good Condition?

Laptops are one of the most essential gadgets for businessmen these days. Businessmen carry out their each and every business tasks with the help of laptops alone. Hence they need a good company laptop with which they can work for long periods without any interruption. Laptops need to be maintained properly for good usage. What are the things that we need to keep in mind while using laptop? How to use a laptop smoothly so that it lives longer? Let us see them in detail.

Laptop batteries:

This is the first thing that gets damaged in any laptop. But it is entirely in our own hands to ensure the safety of our laptop by avoiding the damages that happen to the laptop. Battery of the laptop needs to be charged and discharged at regular intervals. If you overcharge the battery, it will damage the battery and it will lose its strength very quickly. It is always advisable to use the laptop after charging the battery. Don't use the laptop while it is still getting charged, because that will reduce its battery life.

Always keep the laptop in a clean and dry place. This is very important because the dust and moisture are the biggest enemies of laptops. If the dust and water get into the laptop motherboards, it will damage the laptop completely and you need to take it to the person who knows to repair it. So always ensure that you keep it in a dry place.

Use a clean piece of cloth to wipe the screen of your laptop. Dust gets gathered on the screen and that makes it look blurred. So wiping it with a clean cloth is the best solution for the problem. That will make the laptop look completely new again. This is very important if you want to work with it without getting any interruptions in the middle while you are working. Wipe even the back cover of the laptop also with a clean piece of cloth.

Always use a laptop cooler for keeping it cool. If you are performing several tasks at the same time on your laptop such as listening to the music, checking the mail and typing etc, that will affect the performance of the laptop when it gets overheated. So using a good laptop cooler will help you to solve that problem. These days, every laptop comes with cooling system inside it, but sometimes still those arrangements may seem insufficient and we need to depend on additional coolers for keeping it cool.

Finally, any laptop needs to be maintained properly in terms of the memory used in them. Organize the components of different local disks properly and make separate folders for different types of files. That will help you to keep your laptop in the best condition. Usually a laptop may have different types of files like word files, PowerPoint files and spreadsheet files etc. all these files should be kept in separate folders and that makes it easy for you to search the particular file that you need.
