Computers can use a lot of power. By using some simple energy-saving strategies, you can reduce your energy bill and help the environment.
Sospendere il computer quando non lo si sta usando. Questo riduce significativamente la quantità di energia consumata; inoltre il computer può essere riacceso molto velocemente.
Turn off the computer when you will not be using it for longer periods. Some people worry that turning off a computer regularly may cause it to wear out faster, but this is not the case.
Use the Power panel in Settings to change your power settings. There are a number of options that will help to save power: you can automatically blank the screen after a certain time, reduce the screen brightness, and have the computer automatically suspend if you have not used it for a certain period of time.
Turn off any external devices (like printers and scanners) when you are not using them.
Reduce the screen brightness. Powering the screen accounts for a significant fraction of a laptop power consumption.
La maggior parte dei portatili dispongono di pulsanti sulla tastiera (o di scorciatoie da tastiera) per ridurre la luminosità.
If you do not need an Internet connection for a little while, turn off the wireless or Bluetooth cards. These devices work by broadcasting radio waves, which takes quite a bit of power.
Alcuni computer sono dotati di uno tasto fisico per spegnerle, altrimenti è possibile usare una scorciatoia da tastiera. È possibile riaccendere la scheda all'occorrenza.
Ridurre il numero di processi in esecuzione in background perché i computer usano tanta più energia quanto più lavoro devono svolgere.
Most of your running applications do very little when you are not actively using them. However, applications that frequently grab data from the internet or play music or movies can impact your power consumption.
