Suggestion: Enable USB autosuspend for non-input devices by pressing the U key Suggestion: Enable SATA ALPM link power management via: echo min_power > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/link_power_management_policy or press the S key. Suggestion: Enable wireless power saving mode by executing the following command: iwconfig wlan0 power timeout 500ms This will sacrifice network performance slightly to save power. Suggestion: enable HD audio powersave mode by executing the following command: echo 1 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save or by passing power_save=1 as module parameter.
