Who doesn't want to squeeze every last juice out of their notebook/netbook battery?
Problem is, there always seems to be a cost involved.
Reducing brightness - Trying to convince myself it's bright enough at the lower settings. Then getting headaches and eye strain afterwards and blaming it on fatigue.
Power Settings - Maximum battery setting means I have to adjust my power patience setting to maximum too.
Turn off unnecessary ports - What? The inbuilt camera uses power when I'm not using it? Is this some sick joke?
Turn off pretty features on the OS - But they make unimportant work just a tiny bit bearable.
Hate to admit it.
There's no two ways about it.
Just buy that clunky, oversize, protruding, 'I'm going to convince myself it doesn't look ugly' extra long life battery and be done with it.
Unless you have a macbook air.
