Is There a Battery Saver Mode on Laptops?

Whether you're working remotely, traveling, or just away from your charger, battery life is always a top concern.

Battery Saver mode on smartphones can be a lifesaver when you're running low on power, but what about computers? Traditional desktops may not require this feature, as they are connected to a power source all day long. But what about laptops? Do they have something similar?

Battery Saver mode, also known as Power Saver or Low Power Mode, is a useful setting. It helps you save energy when your laptop or portable device is not plugged in.

To make your energy last longer, Battery Saver mode feature makes several adjustments to your device, such as:
