    The U3S is pretty good about turning off power to things not being used. You can always disable the camera in the device manager, but I doubt it'll save you any significant amount of power, if any at all.

    Get another battery. I'm getting 3 hours of use while using wireless. Up to another 30-60 minutes if I turn off wirelss and be extremely conservative.

    If you really want great battery life, get a Thinkpad X61 ;)
