External components such as USB sticks out

Even a USB flash drive is an external device and needs - even if only minimally - electricity. Copy yourself when working on the road most of the files from the stick to the disk. Unplug the USB key and edit the data on the notebook. Insert the stick again until one and save the data if you want to move back up one or Zwischenbackup

PCMCIA cards out

PCMCIA cards such as ISDN modems, you should remove the mobile work. Similar to USB stick or mouse so is a map of an external device and the computer is powered. Even if the card is in operation, the operating system checks whether the device is available. The costs of current that can be saved

Network switch

Network cards, and internal variations, are needed only logical way to connect to the network. Work mobile, you should disable the network card. This can be done either in the BIOS or in the Windows Control Panel. Take, for example in office, only wireless, disable the internal network card. Who wants in today's energy prices have been unnecessary power-hungry?

Drive off

Some notebooks offer to turn off the CD or DVD drive. You should too. If not, you can unplug the drive, too. Not to recommend the way, is to leave a CD or DVD in the drive. Restart the computer that is running, the drive only at a time. Is it even a bootable CD, the operating system asks for first if the computer is to be started from CD. While this is in principle not bad, but takes longer and requires particularly valuable battery power. And even when running an inserted CD or DVD only disturbs. Look at the operating system but when you open the folder Workplace first to see if a disk is in drive. If the answer is yes, runs the drive at first. And already is again wasted valuable electricity.

WLAN and Bluetooth off

Who picks up his e-mails via UMTS should switch off existing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth components. It is these network devices are power-hungry in general. Thus, a WLAN card is always looking for an existing wireless network or hotspot. If something is found, notify the operating system and asks whether to connect to the network. This is convenient if you need a network needs, but also an enormous amount of electricity. If Bluetooth is similar: is the device around in the mode Visible to others, The Bluetooth card permanently in stand-by mode. This not only costs a lot of electricity but is also very uncertain. If you're traveling with your laptop, should therefore turn off Bluetooth and WLAN in principle and activate only when needed for the duration of the operation.

Installing additional memory

In a computer with low memory constantly working hard drive. This is because Windows stores with available data from too little memory to the virtual space. This is on the hard disk. Thus, Windows has in certain work processes repeatedly access the drive. More memory means that less data must be written to disk and thus less power is consumed. Another advantage of more memory: The notebook works much faster.
