As I mentioned before, I bought a netbook recently. Naturally I was experimenting with ways of getting the most out of the built-in battery. I just realized that blocking flash based moving ads on websites can enable you to save more than 10% battery life.
Here is the main result.
the power consumption of the netbook is:
- 11.2 Watts before blocking, and
- 9.5 Watts after.
So, if you are on the go and doing web browsing, and would like save some battery power, block ads.
Notes:
1. link to adblock:

gnome-power-statistics".
This is probably the best thing about the 830. It’s slim and feels really solid and well constructed. The only downsides are that there’s a little give in the plastic backing near the camera hump and there’s some light bleed at the bottom edge of the screen. battery life
