減少耗電量並改善電池續航力

由於電腦會消耗大量電力，透過一些簡單的能源節約策略，可以降低電費支出並友善環境。

常見技巧

  • 當您無需使用電腦時可將您的電腦暫停。此舉能大幅降低耗電量，並能在您需要時快速恢復至先前狀態。

  • Turn off the computer when you will not be using it for longer periods. Some people worry that turning off a computer regularly may cause it to wear out faster, but this is not the case.

  • Use the Power panel in Settings to change your power settings. There are a number of options that will help to save power: you can automatically blank the screen after a certain time, enable the Automatic Power Saver mode when the battery is low, and have the computer automatically suspend if you have not used it for a certain period of time.

  • 降低螢幕亮度。

  • 關閉任何未使用的外部裝置（像是印表機或掃描器）。

針對使用電池的筆記型電腦與小筆電等裝置

  • 降低螢幕亮度。這是由於筆記型電腦有很大一部分的耗電量來自螢幕。

    大部分筆記型電腦的鍵盤上設有亮度調整按鍵（或透過組合鍵），可用於降低螢幕亮度。

  • 若您有一段時間用不到網際網路，您可以關閉無線通訊技術，包含 Wi-Fi 與藍牙等。這是由於此類裝置透過無線電波運作，會消耗很大一部分的電力。

    一些電腦具備物理開關，可將其快速關閉（也有一些是透過鍵盤捷徑鍵操作）。當您需要時亦可快速開啟。

進階密技

  • Reduce the number of tasks that are running in the background. Computers use more power when they have more work to do.

    Most of your running applications do very little when you are not actively using them. However, applications that frequently grab data from the internet or play music or movies can impact your power consumption.
