Running a laptop

Turning off things like bluetooth and wi-fi also help preserve battery life, that is of course unless you are using them!

True, as done turning down the brightness of the display.

It might have been mentioned that you turn off Windows updates while away and also updates for your anti-virus system.

On the subject of anti-virus, I have AVG11 Free version. Despite turning off the Update Manager, it updates anyway.

Anybody know how to stop it??????
