    5 Battery saving tips to save you.

    My laptop comes with me everywhere I go. I wake up in the morning, toss my laptop in my bag and head out. Often I don’t get back home for another 5-6 hours. This means I need my battery to last me all day. I do take the charger with, but I often never have time to stop and plug in. Here are five simple tips I follow to make sure my battery lasts me all day.

    1. WiFi – Don’t get me wrong, I love being connected but it’s not necessary 100% of the time. I batterylike to blog on the go, but when I write I make sure to switch the WiFi off until I am ready to publish my post.
    2. Screen Brightness – I will admit that a nice bright screen is very fancy, but at times, its just not all that practical. You can skip this if you have the automatically adjust screen brightness checked in system preferences. If you don’t have that checked, you can easily forget that you have your screen blasting as bright as it will go.
    3. Keyboard Brightness – Handy as it may be, it’s just another drain on your battery. Keep it off unless you need it.
