  • Battery performance of your particular Tablet PC model
  • Charge your battery whenever you are at your workstation or AC power is available. Leaving your workstation with a fully charged battery is your first step in maximizing your mobility.
  • The brightness of your Tablet PC screen is often the number one consumer of power, so you can conserve battery power by turning down the screen brightness on your Tablet PC.

  • Because some of these peripherals can draw a significant amount of power, you should consider unplugging them or turning them off in situations where you want to conserve battery power.
  • You can select from a number of power schemes that are available in Power Options in the Control Panel, you can adjust individual settings of any available power scheme, or you can create your own power schemes to suit your particular system and preferences.

  • 1. Defrag regularly
  • 2. Dim your screen
  • 3. Cut down on programs running in the background.
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • 4. Cut down external devices
  • 5. Add more RAM - This will allow you to process more with the memory your laptop has, rather than relying on virtual memory. 
  • 6. Run off a hard drive rather than CD/DVD - As power consuming as hard drives are, CD and DVD drives are worse. 
  • 7.  Keep the battery contacts clean: 
  • 8. Take care of your battery - Exercise the Battery.
  • Also, do not let a Li-On battery completely discharge. (Discharing is only for older batteries with memory effects)
  • 9. Hibernate not standby - Although placing a laptop in standby mode saves some power and you can instantly resume where you left off, it doesn’t save anywhere as much power as the hibernate function does. 
  • 10. Keep operating temperature down
  • 11. Set up and optimize your power options - Go to ‘Power Options’ in your windows control panel and set it up so that power usage is optimized (Select the ‘max battery’ for maximum effect).
  • 12. Don’t multitask - Do one thing at a time when you’re on battery. 
  • 13. Go easy on the PC demands - The more you demand from your PC.  Passive activities like email and word processing consume much less power than gaming or playing a DVD.  If you’ve got a single battery charge - pick your priorities wisely.
  • 14. Get yourself a more efficient laptop
  • 15. Prevent the Memory Effect - If you’re using a very old laptop, you’ll want to prevent the ‘memory effect’ - Keep the battery healthy by fully charging and then fully discharging it at least once every two to three weeks. Exceptions to the rule are Li-Ion batteries (which most laptops have) which do not suffer from the memory effect.
  • Bonus Tip #1: Turn off the autosave function. 
  • While it saves battery life in the beginning, you will want to make sure your work is saved when your battery dies.
  • Bonus Tip #2: Lower the graphics use.

Use Standby and Hibernate - 0 views

  • To save battery power, you set up your computer so that when you press the power button, your computer goes into standby mode: a low power state that saves your work and quickly returns you to your desktop when you power up your computer again. You also select a power scheme that automatically puts your computer in standby mode after being idle for a certain period of time. That way, if you forget to manually put the computer on standby, it will automatically go into standby after it has been idle for a specified amount of time.
  • As a safety precaution, you set up your computer to go into hibernation when it reaches a specified low level of battery power. When your Tablet PC goes into hibernation, your opened files and your desktop are saved to the hard drive and your computer shuts down.
  • Standby reduces the power consumption of your computer by cutting power to hardware components that you are not using.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • You can put your computer in standby automatically or manually. Automatic standby is handled by your computer through the power scheme settings. If your computer is idle for a specified period of time, it goes into power-saving standby mode. Manual standby requires you to specify an action that puts your computer in standby mode—closing the lid of your computer, pressing the power button, or pressing the sleep button. You can also select standby when you shut down Windows from the Start button. For the best management of your battery power, you should consider initiating both automatic and manual standby.
  • Hibernate saves an image of your desktop with all open files and documents, and then it powers down your computer. When you turn on power, your files and documents are open on your desktop exactly as you left them.

  • To increase your note-taking area on a small screen, you can hide the titles of the page tabs by clicking the Collapse Page Tabs arrow in the page tabs column.
  • press F11 to use OneNote in Full Page view
  • If you have a microphone and a webcam, run the Tuning Wizard before you attempt to record audio and video notes. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Audio and Video, and then click Tuning Wizard.

  • To view a list of useful keyboard shortcuts that make accessing OneNote tools, commands, and dialog boxes faster and easier, click Keyboard Shortcuts on the Help menu.
  • If copying and pasting text and graphics from a Web page to a page in your notebook doesn't seem to properly retain the formatting, try capturing the information in a screen clipping instead. On the Insert menu, click Screen Clipping, and then drag the pointer to create a rectangular selection around the content on your screen that you want to capture.
  • To see when a block of notes was last written or updated, right-click the paragraph handle preceding the text in any note container. The last two items on the shortcut menu will show you when the text was created or updated, and by whom.
  • To move an item, such as a block of text or a picture, so that it appears over or under another item on the page, hold down ALT while moving the item.
  • You can easily modify the templates that are included with OneNote and create a custom design of your own. Start by applying an existing template to a new, blank page, and then add or change anything you like. On the Format menu, click Templates. In the Templates task pane, click Save current page as a template.
  • Before sharing your notes, check for spelling mistakes. Press F7 to open the Spelling task pane and start the spell check. If the task pane is already open, click Start Spell Check.
  • you can save notes as a Web page. On the File menu, click Publish Pages. In the Publish dialog box, click Single File Web Page (Publish a copy) (*.mht) in the Save as type list. After the file has been created, you can send it in e-mail, copy it to a shared location on a network, or publish it on a Web site.
  • Use different colors to identify participants in a live sharing session. Ask each person to use a specific pen or font color when he or she adds notes to the shared page. For example, you can type your notes in blue text and use a blue pen to mark up a diagram. Another person can use green text or a green pen. Add a list of names and corresponding text colors at the top of the shared note page so that session participants know who is typing or writing.
  • Use OneNote to help you study for an exam. If you take notes by using an outline format, collapse your outline down to the highest level of information, and then quiz yourself about the details hidden in the collapsed levels. To work with outlines, turn on the Outlining toolbar. On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and then click Outlining.
  • To quickly open a side note, even when OneNote isn't open, press the Windows logo key+N.
  • To help you line up items on your pages (for example, note containers or pictures), OneNote automatically snaps the items to an invisible grid as you move and reposition them. To temporarily disable the grid, hold down ALT while you move an item on the current page. To permanently turn the page grid option on or off, click the Snap To Grid command on the Edit menu.
  • If you use OneNote on a portable computer or a Tablet PC, you can optimize the amount of battery power that OneNote consumes. On the Tools menu, click Options. In the Options dialog box, click Other, and then select the Optimize for the following battery life option that you want.

  • The first thing to make sure you do is to print to OneNote the same way you would want those pages printed on a printer. You can always zoom in to make things bigger. If you won’t ever need a hardcopy with your notes, don’t worry about this, but OneNote will try to group pages to fit all of one image in a page (keyword: try). If you have two PowerPoint slides to an image already, you won’t have to work with OneNote to make it print two images per page (because OneNote will likely just print one slide per page).
  • use a page layout that has the same dimensions as the page you will be printing to.

    One of my major gripes about OneNote is that the pages will get longer, but they won't tell you where the page will cut off if you have to print it to paper. For random scribbles and day-to-day operations, this is fine, but if you're getting ready for that open note test, being able to easily print without equations/diagrams getting cut in half is important.
