– set screen timeout to a lower value like two or three minutes – the less programs open you have the better (including useless placebo-tier ones like antivirus programs) – unless your outside brightness to lowest possible should be just fine – the more animations you can do with disabled the better (disable showing of windows contents while dragging if you plan to move around your windows a lot) – mute speakers/microphone, or bring them to 0 (this cuts off the power)

Second you can run the program with this argument: First, right click on “Show overclocking” button and you have a power saving option. You can do a few things with it to make Nvidia GPU’s consume significantly less power than usual. Search for a program called nvidiaInspector (doeanload it from Softpedia or Guru3D). The idea is to not let the CPU raise it’s multiplier high enough to need the increased power needs for said higher values. You can use something like CPU-z to see the values which your CPU supports, depending on the CPU you may want to choose something between 30 and 50. Note these values represent the percentage of your CPU’s multiplier. But that $300 you thought you were saving by going with the Surface Pro manifests itself in the lack of a dedicated graphics chip, which the i7 MacBook Pro includes.Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Power Options > Change plan settings > Advanced But once you add the $130 keyboard for the Surface Pro, the total cost racks up to $1,430, which is only $70 cheaper than the equivalent MacBook Pro.Īnd it might seem like Microsoft's most powerful Surface Pro offering, which includes a Core i7, 16GB RAM, 512GB of storage and cost $2,200, is a much better deal than Apple's equivalent MacBook Pro with similar specs, which costs $2,500. It sounds mighty tempting when you compare it to Apple's equivalent MacBook Pro, which costs $1,500. The Type Cover and the new Surface Pro's priceĪ new Surface Pro with an Intel Core i5 processor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB of storage will cost you $1,300. There is some good news, but only for those who bought the Type Cover for the Surface Pro 3 and 4, as it's compatible with the Surface Pro 5. One of the Surface Pro 5's new features is a kickstand that can bend back at a more acute angle than previous models.
