    Hello I got a laptop and it seems even if I set "Power Saver Plan" my buttery still lasts less then 2 and half hours.

    Someone got a good guide to increase my buttery life.

    Thanks

    Turn off things like wireless, blue tooth, any extra programs that are running, screen brightness, under clock, turn off the web cam, and muting the sound.

    No need to milk this thread or churning it into something else but if Windows (7) is your bread & butter, I can imagine you want to make it run like butter. (It runs smooth already but there's no need to butter up about it).

    Anyways, the site for the OP, is of course BatteriesandButter.com.

    Or, the Lithium Button Cell Butter Battery... ;)
    Cheers.
