1102 - Chapter 23 Portable Computing - Slide Handouts

The document discusses power management on mobile devices and laptops. It explains that CPUs have built-in power saving features to reduce power usage by shutting down parts of the computer. Technicians need to ensure power management settings are optimized for users. Key terms defined include AC adapter, ACPI sleep and hibernation modes, and power plans. A quick review reiterates that ACPI level 0 means power is on but nothing is used, level 3 is sleep mode with RAM powered and CPU off, and level 4 is hibernation where RAM data is stored and RAM/CPU are powered off.
