##(see the SpecSpec for an explanation) * '''Launchpad entry''': https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/enable-laptop-power-features * '''Created''': <> by CoreyBurger2 * '''Contributors''': CoreyBurger2 * '''Packages affected''': == Summary == Laptops contain a number of power reduction features built into them. They include such things as dimming the screens and spinning down the harddrive. Not all of these features are enabled in Ubuntu. == Rationale == Increasing battery life is a good thing for all laptop users. Enabling this functionality would make Ubuntu more attractive to laptop users. == Use cases == Jim wants to watch a movie on his laptop on the flight. However, Ubuntu only gives 1 and 1/2 hours of battery life. Windows gives him just over 2, so he reboots into Windows to watch his DVD, as he knows he will be able to finish it. == Scope == == Design == == Implementation == === Code === === Data preservation and migration === None == Unresolved issues == == BoF agenda and discussion == ---- CategorySpec
