Tips to Save Power

Saving on power use is a key way to make a big difference for both the environment and your pocketbook. There are various easy ways to cut down on the power used in your home.

1. Turn It Off, Unplug It or Turn It Down

   • Turn off lights, computers and TVs when not in use. Unplug phone and computer chargers when not actually charging as well. All of the little chargers and unused appliances can use as much energy as your fridge! Unplug everything you are not using. If unplugging everything seems unlikely in your tech-savvy household, plug into power strips and turn off the strip when you aren't using the appliances or electronics. This will have the same effect.
     Keep your thermostat set in the 60s or 50s during winter, and dress warmly inside instead of heating the room to summer temps. Similarly, don't cool the house to excess in summer. If you need A/C, keep it set up in the 70s instead of cooling your house to 60 and freezing yourself out. If you live in an area where humidity is not generally a problem, run a swamp cooler instead of A/C. It costs much less to install and uses 75 percent less energy. You can also use a ceiling fan to keep the air moving; it will make 75 degrees feel like 68.

   Lights

   • Compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) can save 75 percent of your lighting energy over traditional lightbulbs, so make the switch to CFLs--either all at once or gradually as the incandescents burn out. Turn off the lights when you leave a room or when you already have enough natural light. Use smaller lamps when possible instead of higher-wattage lighting.

   Laundry

   • Wash your clothes in cold water, and hang them out to dry rather than using a dryer. This saves power to heat the water and cuts out the energy needed for a dryer completely. This can make a drastic difference in your overall power use. If you can't hang your clothes outside, at least use an energy-smart dryer, and keep the vent and lint filter clean.

   Water

   • With a tankless water heater, you will use about half as much energy to heat your water. This is because tankless units heat water on demand, so they don't use power to keep it hot all the time. Also, when using small amounts of water, you can also heat water on the stove rather than running water until it comes hot out.
     Install low-flow toilets, faucets and shower heads to cut down the power needed to heat and pump water (and to clean it up again at the water waste plant once it has been wasted). Showering saves energy compared to taking a bath for the same reasons.

   Seal It Up

   • Install power-saving windows and seal carefully around the ones you have. Install insulation in your crawl space and attic, and make sure your pipes, water heater and air ducts are insulated and wrapped well. This will save on the power used for heating and cooling your house as well as your water supply.

   In the Kitchen

   • When reheating food for one or two people, try to use a low-watt microwave rather than the oven. You will save energy in the heating, as well as in cooling your house, because ovens use more energy and heat up the room while they're doing it.
     Use pots that match the burner size when heating things on the stove, a pot that is too small or too large for the burner uses more energy to heat. Put a lid on the pot as well, this will help it boil faster, and in so doing use less energy.

World's Thinnest Ultrabook

Acer launches World's Thinnest Ultrabook

Acer India has launched a new range of computing devices called Ultrabooks. Ultrabooks are a new class of mobile computers that marry the performance and capabilities of today's laptops with tablet like features. Interestingly, while several people use the term ultrabook loosely for a device that'sa cross between an under-powered netbook and a full-fledged notebook, most are unaware of the fact that 'Ultrabook' is an Acer trademark. Acer is the number one netbook brand globally and is now leading the pack with innovation in this new line of devices that integrate the features of notebooks and tablets. The recent Q2 2011 market research reports from both Gartner and IDC position Acer as the No. 2 PC vendor in India. Acer Aspire S3 is the first ultrabook to be launched in India. Powered by 2nd generation Intel®CoreTMprocessor family, Aspire S3 promises best in class performance combined with improved responsiveness and energy conscious innovations. The shining beacons of Aspire S3 are Acer Green Instant On and Acer Instant Connect features. Instant On delivers fast responsiveness and also provides energy efficiency due to enhanced power management. Aspire S3 provides up to7 hours of battery life. This feature enables the notebook to fast resume in 1.5 seconds from Sleep (6 seconds from Deep Sleep). Instant Connect provides access to internet in just 2.5 seconds - four times the faster than conventional connections - when resuming. The embedded lithium-polymer battery is super-lightweight and also prevents any accidental bursts.

"With the launch of the Acer Aspire S3 Ultrabook, we have charted a new line of course to the mobile computing world by effortlessly combining the essential features of both a notebook and a tablet," says S.Rajendran, Chief Marketing Officer, Acer India.

All that performance and increased responsiveness is packed into an elegant form factor with an aerodynamic design. At just 13 mm (0.51") thickness, Aspire S3 weighs less than 1.4 kgs. The Silver Mg-Al alloy chassis is feather-light, but also strong as steel. The integrated design LCD cuts the bezel thickness by a third but is protected by a resilient case design with aluminum cage for maximum protection.The fingerprint-free Silver-Aluminum alloy lid has a silky smooth feel to it. The innovativedesign also provides a unique thermal efficiency for comfortable use. The bottom of the notebook is vent-free and warm components are placed away from palmrest and touchpad area. Air channeled from the keyboard keeps the notebook cool while warm air is directed to the rear. Acer clearly intends to position Aspire S3 as a multimedia machine as well. With Intel® HD Graphics 3000 in the hood, Aspire S3 also includes Dolby® Home Theater® v4 for vibrant, cinema-style surround sound and HDMI with HDCP support that allows you to transfer 1080p HD video to monitors, projectors, and TVs. Aspire S3 comes with an integrated 1.3 megapixel camera and includes the latest Bluetooth 4.0+HSR technology. As of now, Aspire S3 only includes USB 2.0 ports, but this is a rollover change and upcoming units in production might see inclusion of USB 3.0 ports.
Acer Aspire S3 is inspired by nature and captures the spirit of the smallest bird species, the Hummingbird. It takes analogies from the diminutive form, yet the agility and aerodynamic prowess of the bird. The Acer Aspire S3 will be available at Rs. 49,999/- onwards. The Ultrbookhas great specifications at this price point, packed in an easy-to-carry, elegant form-factor. With a strong festivebuying season in the last quarter of the year, Acer is targeting sales of 2500-3000 units per month and in all likeliness, they might not be off the mark on this one.
