Filed in archive Home Office on September 23, 2007

Concerned about the power use of your home computers? Or Even your laptop? If you are running a Linux flavor operating system, then Intel has got just the site to guide you into using your computer(s) better when trying to reduce power consumption. The Intel site "Less Watts" is about Saving Power with Linux on Intel Platforms.



Saving power is a hot topic, particularly as more and more people are trying to reduce their energy use footprint and going to greener means of operating. Reducing your energy consumption will for laptop users mean that their battery charge lasts longer and the overall use of your battery will be longer before you need new batteries.

For those running a PC, saving power means reducing costs and increasing efficiency. For those who have more than one computer at home this can mean a considerable saving over the course of a year.
