Laptop computers have become more powerful than ever before, but their power consumption is higher. Another factor is the demand for lighter and thinner models, but at the cost of reduced battery capacity. Additionally, battery capacity decreases over time. As a result, even the most powerful and lightest models can have short battery life, which can be a problem for many who do not want to keep their laptops plugged in all the time.
So how can we save money?
Simply change the settings you choose in Windows 10. You may experience a drop in performance, but today\’s modern computers have a huge surplus in terms of performance that can be dealt with without you noticing any minor limitations. Even batteries can slow down over time.
