Three quick ways to improve laptop battery life

Remember these three tips on the next trip.Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Few airplanes offer Wi-Fi (yet), then turn off your notebook’s power-sucking Wi-Fi radio. The same goes for Bluetooth. Pull the screen brightness. You can afford to keep the screen brightness offset if your notebook is plugged into an outlet, but not if you fly coach. Drop setting the brightness a few notches, then back to work. Chances are you barely notice the difference. Then place it a few notches. The lower, the better.
