To save battery power:
Use Advanced Power Management (APM)
APM allows you to reduce power consumption when your
applications and devices are idle. Each operating system comes
with its own APM.
If you have purchased the computer with a preloaded operating

Decrease the LCD brightness
Adjust the brightness control on the LCD to the lowest level
possible that allows you to comfortably view the screen. This is
an effective way of conserving battery power.
