Introduction :
In today's life laptop and Tablets are fast closing the gap between an Desktop and Mobile phone (Smart phone). In Ryu Systems we have recently come across many customers who complain low battery performance and even Died out battery with in just 13-20 month of purchasing their laptop so we had a study on some 27 customers who had similar problem and talked to them to get knowing how they use their Laptop and How they usually charge their battery.
Out of 27 customers not even 1 of them knew how to use them and we felt guilt as we failed to educate them on how to use their laptop for better performance and increase their battery life and now we have made it a must to all our representatives in our showroom that at least a 10min brief to buyers on how to maintain their product especially those who get laptop is must.
Top Misconceptions Of Laptop
Buying the best available laptop in today's market is future proof :
Never a laptop can become future proof in the sense where future is 2-3 yrs. Technology is so that laptop is underdog when it comes to future proofing with an Desktop PC. So the best thing is get a laptop that will better suit your current need and leave future to time and get gift to your loved ones with the saved money.
Getting an i7 will give me great performance:
It all depend on what you use your laptop for and not what you own. Having an i7 processor and doing works like Browsing, Mailing, Office work, Watching movies, skype, Programming in C C++ Vb, Basic gaming etc will not increase your productivity in any way it all can be done petty effectively in an i3 processor with less money and long battery life.
Allowing laptop battery to 1-5% is Bad:
It's damn false actually technical people advice for better battery performance it's a best practice to fully drain the laptop battery to at least in an 2:35 ratio that is 2 times for every 30 - 35 times of charging the battery. Also it's best practice to remove/switch off AC power when battery reaches 97%-99% without charging it for 100% or leaving AC power on even after charged but most latest laptop has been programmed to stop battery charging in 99% automatically.
More Processor core more Ghz/Mhz more performance:
This is what Intel, AMD, nVidia, ATI, and others want's us to believe and unfortunately this is what's people too believe in. The Core-War will never end and they are here to gain from this it's high time people decide if they really need all the fancy bells around the laptop that their application will never use.
Laptop Power Management Tips:
- The most important thing is keep the LCD/LED brightness to required amount.
- Close programs that you dont use, see for programs starting up and remove those that you feel are not necessary to be started at every boot up.
- Use power management features available under operating system.
- Better copy movies to HDD from CD/DVD before watching them DVD drive and CD drive consumes more power.
- Increase your laptop RAM(Memory) to at least 2GB to 3GB because when memory is low OS uses HDD and HDD consume more power than RAM chip consumes.
- Always set laptop screen to go blank if unused for 5min it's proved that in an laptops life time i.e 5yrs minimum of 15%-25% of it's total battery life is wasted by being idle.
- Remove USB or Other devices connected to laptop once the purpose is finished even if you dont use you camera or Pen drive connected to laptop any more still power is drawn by them.
- Turn off Wi-Fi adapter when not in use believe me you will save a lot from this.
