How to Enter the Power Save Mode

Power saver mode allows the computer to be on but to operate at a lower energy level, which helps conserve resources. Starting up the computer will be faster because it is not from a cold boot. It can also save battery life if the computer is not connected to a power supply. Using power saver mode may even extend the life of the computer because running on lower power will not overheat the CPU, the motherboard or its peripherals. You can configure power saver mode on your computer in a few steps.
