Watching films or TV shows on a laptop is a great way to pass time when travelling for work. But you'll likely often have to contend with the computer battery running out before your trip ends.
Those using Windows 10 can resort to a few easy tricks to save energy and make their battery last as long as possible.
The Windows 10 settings contain an "Optimize for battery life" option that you can select under the "Video playback" menu for your battery.
It is also worthwhile selecting the option that allows videos to play at a lower resolution when on battery. This option, which has an effect only on streamed videos, saves a lot of energy and only barely reduces their resolution. – dpa
