    Just put it on best power savings. At least there's the potential of longer battery life.

    So theoretically, if one put the brightness down to sub-lowness, set Intel graphics to power saving mode, killed the LED, used only the touchpad with no external devices, and used the laptop in a perfectly climate-controlled clean room, you could get like...what? 9-10 hours battery life? ;)
