    I apologize ahead of time if I "re-post" a question previously posted by a member for this very same issue "BATTERY SAVING"

    Ok, i know the g73 is a gaming computer and isn't designed like a Honda, but more like a Hummer. I would like to see how i can squeeze 2-3 hours out of this battery without charging while using Word Processor, PowerPoint and light online research for university.

    PS: While paying around with Splendid button i figured out max and min processor states. Now, if i can will i be able to use this by lowering it to save battery and if not do you have any other solutions

    FN + spacebar is an easy way to swap power saving modes with P4GH

    Would changing the processors state change anything?

    Compared to High Performance, yes.
