Reducing Power Consumption

Although your laptop (together with the operating system) is capable of power conservation,
there are measures you can take to reduce the power consumption:

• Lower the intensity of the display backlight. A very bright screen translates to higher

power usage.

• Use the Go Dark mode in the Alienware Command Center.
