Well there was a huge boom in technology when there was an invention of a device called laptop,a portable version of a computer….. It has lots of advantages ,but only a single disadvantage its called the battery backup…..
The battery backup period is very less that sometimes we get frustrated about it!We require more battery backup when we are travelling and where there is no time to charge the batteries. I will show you few steps on how to increase the battery backup and also battery life by 30% !!!!
Steps to increase battery backup
Defragment hard disks Frequently.
Clean the metal pins of the battery with a metal cleaning liquid to remove dirt .
Turn off indexing of files- indexing keeps running in the background also increases usage of the battery.
Use classic themes , to cut down usage of graphics .
For windows 7 disable Aero effects.
Prefer head phones than external speakers.
Avoid playing games..
Use flash drives instead of CD/DVD.
Replace batteries once in 2 years depending upon the usage….
Do not use much of applications which uses more resources, this will drain the battery fast..
Reduce the brightness of the screen.
Do not over charge the battery as it reduces the battery life, charge only
when the battery is indicated low by the computer.
Disable bluetooth, Wlan when not in use.
Disable CD/DVD drives when not in use.

Microsoft PowerPoint: Designing Presentations
Display the Ruler
Choose View > Ruler; repeat again to hide. The rulers are marked off in inches and appear to the left and at the top of your slide working area. When you move the pointer or a drawing tool, look for the moving lines on the rulers that show you precisely where you are on the slide.
How Easy Are Your Slides to Read?
Too many presentations are so packed with information they can be illegible. Even complex and confusing slides may be readable if viewed only 18 inches away from a computer monitor.
Try this simple test. Switch to View > Slide Sorter and then choose a 66% view from View > Zoom or the Zoom toolbar button. If you cannot read the slide without a magnifying glass, consider using a larger font, fewer words and/or higher contrast.

Microsoft PowerPoint: Working with Shapes
Creating the Perfect Circle, Square, Star, and More
If you have even tried to draw a circle or square on a slide, you might have noticed that the tool is actually called ellipse or rectangle which does not automatically give you a perfectly
proportional shape.
The next time that you want an evenly proportioned shape, select the toolbar or AutoShape option that you want, press and hold down [Shift] and then draw the object. Release the mouse before letting go of the [Shift] key and you will have a perfect circle (or square). Hold [Shift] again if you need to resize the shape.
This trick can also be used for drawing other shapes including stars, octagons, triangles, and more.
Quickly Copy a Shape
Do you want more copies of your perfect shape? Here's an easy way to make a copy:
1) Click once on the shape to select, 2) Press and hold down [Ctrl] and drag the object to create a copy in a new location.
Easy Alignment:
If you want the original and the copy to be evenly aligned either horizontally or vertically, follow the steps above but also add the [Shift] key which will "constrain" or limit your movement to be only across or up and down.
Limit Your Lines
Most shapes will look more professional onscreen without an outside line or border. To remove the line: 1) Select the object, 2) Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Paintbrush tool in the Drawing toolbar (at the bottom of the screen) or double-click on the object to change the Line to No Line.
Selecting Multiple Objects
To select or highlight more than one object, press and hold down the [Shift] key and click on each object. Click again if you want to de-select an object. All highlighted objects can then be moved, copied, formatted and modified together. Click away from the selected items to un-select them all.
Selecting "Hidden" Objects
With more complex slides, a shape, text box, or other object that you want to work with may be hidden or tucked behind other objects making it difficult to click and select the correct
one. To select slide objects in sequence, press [Tab] repeatedly. Each object, including titles and subtitles, will be individually highlighted each time you press [Tab]. Stop on the one you want to work with. Go backwards by pressing [Shift] + [Tab].
Next, format, delete, copy, move, or re-size the selected object.
