Power management
This computer has a built-in power management unit that monitors 
system activity. System activity refers to any activity involving one or 
more of the following devices: keyboard, mouse, hard disk, peripherals 
connected to the USB ports, and video memory. If no activity is 
detected for a period of time (called an inactivity timeout), the 
computer stops some or all of these devices in order to conserve 
energy.
This computer employs a power management scheme that supports 
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), which allows for 
maximum power conservation and maximum performance at the same 
time. Windows handles all power-saving chores for your computer.
