Pep Up Your Laptop Speed by Checking the Power Management Settings

A quick tip for this evening.

Many of us have laptops and we do need to use them away from a power point when required. However, this often means that your laptop is running in a low power consumption mode designed to prolong battery life at the expense of performance. This can be a pain when you are doing some heavy number crunching or you are using many applications at the same time.

In these instances, the easiest way to get your laptop running at full performance again is to manually set it back to “high performance” mode. The easiest way to do this in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is to hit the Windows key then type “Power Options” and press Enter. Within the new window, simply select the “high performance” option and close the window.

Hopefully, that should give you every ounce of performance back to you but be wary of your battery consumption!
