London-used phones are a huge item in the Nigerian market as a majority of budget buyers tend to prefer them to not just brand new items but other fairly-used items. It is believed that these fairly used phones from London are affordable, very durable and can perform as well as brand new. Surely, a London-used smartphone can save you some money, still, buying a used smartphone means you have to do your due diligence. Jumia Travel, Africa’s No.1 online hotel booking portal shares are some tips on things Nigerian need to know about these brand of fairly used phones.
They are no warranties
Warranty is usually out of the question when it comes to London used phones. The phones have been used by a previous owner who is not in the same location as the new buyer and so, even if the warranty issued by the company it was originally purchased from is still valid, the new owner cannot take advantage of it. This means that the new owner cannot return the phone if they discover a factory damage or encounter technical issues.
You may have to unlock them
Most London-used mobile phones are locked when sold in Nigeria and aside from money spent purchasing the device, the buyer has to pay to have the phone unlocked before they can use it to make and receive calls. While mobile unlocking is highly popular within the used mobile phone market, before a purchase is made, it is necessary the buyer understands exactly what unlocking is all about.
There is a fair chance they are stolen
The truth is that there is a high chance the London-used phone you intend to buy is a stolen product. Hundreds of smartphones are stolen and then shipped to foreign countries where they are sold to unsuspecting customers. It would be tragic to buy a phone only to discover that it has been reported stolen and being tracked when authorities come knocking on your door. Always ensure you get a receipt when you make purchases.
They never come with accessories
It is difficult to find a London used phone that is sold with its accessories. Usually, you find out that after making a purchase, you also have to buy the charger separately, then the earphones and other items that may be unique to the device. This extra costs when added up, sometimes makes the cost margin between the London-used phone and the brand new phone very slim.
They easily develop faults
While the physical appearance of these London used phones are usually great, they sometimes have internal problems that affect functionality or ensure that they develop issues in the future. So, even though everything may work correctly upon purchase, they may not last.

Unveiled to the public at the 2014 Paris Motor Show, the Mercedes-AMG GT is a two-seat sports car designed to replace the SLS AMG. However, the new coupe is smaller than its predecessor, and unlike the SLS.
The GT is also the first AMG to use the new “Mercedes-AMG” nomenclature and the first model to make use of the new twin-turbo, 4.0-liter V-8 engine. Just like the SLS, the AMG GT spawned a GT3-spec race car and will also receive at least two higher performance versions.
One of them is the GT R and was unveiled
on June 24, 2016 at the Brooklands track in England, where the sports
car was driven by both Tobias Moers, CEO of Mercedes-AMG, and Lewis
Hamilton, reigning Formula One world champion with the German brand.
“With the new AMG GT R, we have
reached the next level of driving performance. This road-going sports
car with motor-racing genes and innovative technical solutions offers an
ultimate driving experience that allows people to feel our motorsport
origins in every fiber. It combines the driving dynamics of our AMG GT3
racing car with the everyday practicality of the AMG GT,” said Moers.

Tecno Phantom 5 isn’t Tecno Mobile’s first attempt at dabbling into
premium smartphones but this new addition to the Phantom product line
breaks away from the norm. Critics and fans alike have expressed diverse
opinions about this device but one thing is certain, we at Geek NG love
it.
Tecno Phantom 5 will change the way a lot of people see the tech company behind this masterpiece. It’s easy to love or hate the phone seeing the specifications and pictures online but being with the device for the last couple of weeks further reveals how much effort Tecno Mobile put into it to make it perfect
We unboxed this device previously and you may want to see the video here. While we have the full specifications on this page, here are some key features:
One thing that’s noticeably absent is the home button that serves at the LED notification light found on newer Tecno phones. The somewhat thick bottom bezel might suggest the presence of physical soft keys but these are placed on-screen.
The front 8MP front camera is supported with a LED flash and both stay at the left side of the earpiece. Turning the device over, the first thing you notice at the back is the fingerprint sensor sitting just below the top-centered 13MP rear camera equipped with dual flash as seen on Tecno Camon C8.
Below that is the branding, almost blending with the back cover and barely visible. Further down is the speaker producing HiFi sound enhanced with Dolby.
Except for the SIM card slot housing the dual micro-SIM cards, the left side of the device is almost plain. On the right are the volume controls just above the power button. Further down is the SD card slot.
At the top, shifted to the right is the 3.55mm earphone jack and at the bottom, is the micro-USB port.
It’s safe to say the design is carefully crafted and the result is a stylish device that looks slim and of course, elegant.
Tecno Phantom 5 has a display size of 5.5″ against the 5.2″ screen found on it’s predecessor, the Phantom Z. It has a technology called in-cell capacitive touchscreen. In-cell technology is a display technology that combines the digitizer for touch input and LCD display into a single layer which helps in reducing the thickness of the display unit an eventually the overall thickness of a device.
The display is protected with Gorilla Glass 3 with anti-fingerprint coating.
The fingerprint sensor works well and the great thing about it is the ability to store up to five fingerprints. This means you can save other people’s fingerprints if it’s needed.
During the launch event, it was said that the fingerprint unlock generated zero error during 100,000 tests and I assumed it was all a marketing gimmick. The 360° fingerprint recognition leaves absolutely no room for errors and the fact that it takes only 0.7 second to recognize a fingerprint and unlock the device makes it all better.
Well, it works just as advertised.
As a matter of fact, I took pictures indoors to test low-light photography and Tecno Phantom 5 was the clear winner, the lower camera resolution notwithstanding.
The camera on the device has an aperture of f/2.0, the largest ever seen on a Tecno device. Even Camon C8 has an aperture of f/2.8 and f/2.2 on Tecno Phantom Z.
The gallery below shows images taken with Tecno Phantom 5:
The front camera too produces very good selfies and the front flash makes it easier taking selfies in the dark. The camera is equipped with Visidon technology which further reduces noise in nightshots.
The picture above was taken in an almost dark room and the shot was taken in normal mode. There was no extra camera settings done. Taking it further, we enabled night mode to see if there would be any difference and it was glaring:
Enabling the dual flash and we got this result:
The camera is almost perfect. I would’ve been disappointed if it was anything short of that.
Although the single-core processing score wasn’t very impressive, it got a much better score with multi-core processing. And here’s the result with Geekbench 3:
The phone is exceptionally good at gaming and HD games run pretty smooth. We benchmarked the gaming capability with Basemark X and it looked pretty good.
The UI looks beautiful but I had issues trying to get used to the auto arrangement. It appears the icons are arranged based on how often you use them, I couldn’t find a way to customize the arrangement or alphabetically sort them.
After playing the video for about 5 hours, there was still 33% battery left. Judging with this, the phone should offer about 6 and a half to 7 hours of video play.
Tecno’s proprietary music software that debuted on Boom J7 is also pre-installed and it keeps getting better. The database now has more songs and apart from music streaming and downloads, video streaming & download, playlist creation, social sharing & commenting with a bunch of other new features have been included.
The HiFi earphones included with the device also has a metal build and gives very good sound.
The device also supports WiFi and can be used as a wireless hotspot.

Cons: The choice of the speaker placement isn’t the best. There’s no LED notification light. Icons on the app drawer can’t be sorted.
Isn’t ₦70,000 a bit too much?
Well, if you think it is, Tecno didn’t have you in mind when this device was being planned to be released. A lot of people still can’t come to terms with the fact that Tecno is making something as big as Tecno Phantom 5. First, it was the issue of firmware upgrade but news reaching us says there’s a planned upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow scheduled for June 2016.
As mentioned in a previous blog post, this is a premium device and it’s supposed to come with a premium price tag. It’s worth it.
Tecno Phantom 5 will change the way a lot of people see the tech company behind this masterpiece.

- CPU: 1.3 GHz Octa-core (64-bit)
- RAM: 3GB
- Storage: 32GB
- Display: 5.5 inches
- Camera: 13MP
- OS: Android 5.1 (planned upgrade to 6.0)
Physical Appearance & Build
We’ve said it over and over again, Tecno Phantom 5 is very unlike anything Tecno has done before and this device is a beauty to behold. It comes in a Aluminium body and the display is protected with Gorilla Glass 3. The frontal design looks beautifully simple and the phone has the four edges jutting out at sharp angles.One thing that’s noticeably absent is the home button that serves at the LED notification light found on newer Tecno phones. The somewhat thick bottom bezel might suggest the presence of physical soft keys but these are placed on-screen.
The front 8MP front camera is supported with a LED flash and both stay at the left side of the earpiece. Turning the device over, the first thing you notice at the back is the fingerprint sensor sitting just below the top-centered 13MP rear camera equipped with dual flash as seen on Tecno Camon C8.
Below that is the branding, almost blending with the back cover and barely visible. Further down is the speaker producing HiFi sound enhanced with Dolby.
Except for the SIM card slot housing the dual micro-SIM cards, the left side of the device is almost plain. On the right are the volume controls just above the power button. Further down is the SD card slot.
At the top, shifted to the right is the 3.55mm earphone jack and at the bottom, is the micro-USB port.
It’s safe to say the design is carefully crafted and the result is a stylish device that looks slim and of course, elegant.
Display
With a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels and a pixel density of 401 ppi, one can expect nothing short of a crystal clear display from the full HD screen.Tecno Phantom 5 has a display size of 5.5″ against the 5.2″ screen found on it’s predecessor, the Phantom Z. It has a technology called in-cell capacitive touchscreen. In-cell technology is a display technology that combines the digitizer for touch input and LCD display into a single layer which helps in reducing the thickness of the display unit an eventually the overall thickness of a device.
The display is protected with Gorilla Glass 3 with anti-fingerprint coating.
Fingerprint Security
This is definitely one of the device’s main selling point. Tecno Phantom 5 is the first Tecno Mobile phone with this technology and the OEM got it totally right. Though critics had something to say about the placement, it’s a no-brainer understanding this isn’t meant to be unlocked with the thumb like it is on Apple devices, it’s designed for the index finger.The fingerprint sensor works well and the great thing about it is the ability to store up to five fingerprints. This means you can save other people’s fingerprints if it’s needed.
During the launch event, it was said that the fingerprint unlock generated zero error during 100,000 tests and I assumed it was all a marketing gimmick. The 360° fingerprint recognition leaves absolutely no room for errors and the fact that it takes only 0.7 second to recognize a fingerprint and unlock the device makes it all better.
Well, it works just as advertised.
Camera
Tecno Phantom Z has a 16MP rear camera and specification-wise, the camera on Tecno Phantom 5 looks like a downgrade. Well, that’s just on paper. The new Tecno Phantom 5 has a better camera and pictures appear more natural and much clearer.As a matter of fact, I took pictures indoors to test low-light photography and Tecno Phantom 5 was the clear winner, the lower camera resolution notwithstanding.
The camera on the device has an aperture of f/2.0, the largest ever seen on a Tecno device. Even Camon C8 has an aperture of f/2.8 and f/2.2 on Tecno Phantom Z.
The gallery below shows images taken with Tecno Phantom 5:
The front camera too produces very good selfies and the front flash makes it easier taking selfies in the dark. The camera is equipped with Visidon technology which further reduces noise in nightshots.
Low-Light Photography
When we reviewed the Camon C8, our major gripe was the absence of a Night Mode in the camera settings but thankfully, this has been corrected on Tecno Phantom 5. The night mode allows you to take better pictures in the dark without flash and low light photography has greatly improved. The images below were taken around the same time with different camera setting:The picture above was taken in an almost dark room and the shot was taken in normal mode. There was no extra camera settings done. Taking it further, we enabled night mode to see if there would be any difference and it was glaring:
Enabling the dual flash and we got this result:
The camera is almost perfect. I would’ve been disappointed if it was anything short of that.
Performance
A 64-bit octa-core processor clocked at 1.3GHz coupled with a 3GB RAM is expected to process whatever you through at it easily. The custom UI is smooth and navigation is fluid. A 3GB random access memory is more than enough to efficiently handle multitasking. The benchmark results too look great though I was expecting something higher especially from Antutu. Here’s what we got with Antutu:Although the single-core processing score wasn’t very impressive, it got a much better score with multi-core processing. And here’s the result with Geekbench 3:
The phone is exceptionally good at gaming and HD games run pretty smooth. We benchmarked the gaming capability with Basemark X and it looked pretty good.
Software
Tecno Phantom 5 runs a custom UI though we don’t know what name Tecno calls it. It’s the same UI on Tecno Boom J7 and Tecno Camon C8.The UI looks beautiful but I had issues trying to get used to the auto arrangement. It appears the icons are arranged based on how often you use them, I couldn’t find a way to customize the arrangement or alphabetically sort them.
Battery
The 3,000mAh Lithium Ion battery was able to last me trough the day with heavy use. With light use and 3G & WiFi turned off when not needed, the battery should take one through one and a half days of use. In my video loop test, I started playing videos with MX Player with the battery at 97%, volume at 50% and brightness at 50%. 3G was turned on and both SIM cards were active.After playing the video for about 5 hours, there was still 33% battery left. Judging with this, the phone should offer about 6 and a half to 7 hours of video play.
Multimedia
You don’t have to be a techie to recognize high fidelity sound when you’re hear it and this is what comes out of the speaker on Tecno Phantom 5. The sound quality is superb. Using the earphones allows you to engage the equalizer to further fine-tune the sound.Tecno’s proprietary music software that debuted on Boom J7 is also pre-installed and it keeps getting better. The database now has more songs and apart from music streaming and downloads, video streaming & download, playlist creation, social sharing & commenting with a bunch of other new features have been included.
The HiFi earphones included with the device also has a metal build and gives very good sound.
Connectivity
I saw an article on Mobility Arena showing a Smile 4G SIM working on Tecno Phantom 5. The phone supports 2G, 3G and 4G LTE. Both SIM slots supports 3G/4G connectivity.The device also supports WiFi and can be used as a wireless hotspot.
Storage
Tecno Phantom 5 has 32GB internal storage out of which 25GB is usable. This can be expanded up to 64GB via the SD card slot.Price
At the moment, the recommended retail price is ₦70,000 and it’s only available in selected stores like SLOT, 3cHub, MicroStation and Zenco. You can as well check online retail stores:Find on Konga: Buy Now

Verdict
Pros: Premium build. Fast and fluid navigation. A 3GB RAM is a lot to work with when it comes to multitaksing. Fingerprint security. Awesome camera with great low-light photography.Cons: The choice of the speaker placement isn’t the best. There’s no LED notification light. Icons on the app drawer can’t be sorted.
Isn’t ₦70,000 a bit too much?
Well, if you think it is, Tecno didn’t have you in mind when this device was being planned to be released. A lot of people still can’t come to terms with the fact that Tecno is making something as big as Tecno Phantom 5. First, it was the issue of firmware upgrade but news reaching us says there’s a planned upgrade to Android 6.0 Marshmallow scheduled for June 2016.

Some years ago, wireless charging technology was just a concept but
the case is a lot different now. Wireless charging has advanced beyond
what we first saw and the market is maturing at a very fast rate.
According to a report of Electronics EETimes,
the wireless charging market grew by over 160% in 2015 compared with
the previous year and this kind of exponential growth is expected again
in 2016.
In the mobile industry, Samsung appears to be the biggest advocate for wireless charging as this has been integrated into its flagship products right from Samsung Galaxy S4. Another widely used mobile gadget that uses wireless charging is the Apple Watch but when we take a critical look at these devices, it is obvious that inductive wireless charging technology will not get the market far enough.
These devices require their “special charging pads” to effectively position the electromagnetive field to transfer energy between charging dock and the device. This is one of the limitations of inductive charging as it can become rather difficult to make this technology work with very small devices like hearing aids.
Humavox’s ETERNA platform is built on this technology and it is not
limited by a device’s size or design. How it works differs from
inductive charging — a wireless charger transmits radio frequencies and
this is picked up by a receiver within the device. This is then
converted to the DC voltage that charges the device.
The ETERNA platform consists of the NESTTM , the physical
charging station that acts as the power transmitter. It sends out the
radio frequency that is picked up by the ThunderlinkTM, the
circuitry embedded within the device that converts the received radio
frequency into DC voltage. ETERNA Charging Optimizer completes the whole
process by delivering wireless high power transfer.
With this technology, charging your device can be as easy as dropping it into a charging dock that looks like a bowl, a drawer, a carrying case or anything. There is absolutely no need to make the surfaces contact as with inductive charging and the ETERNA platform makes it even easier to integrate wireless charging into any device no matter the size.

How is Humavox’s approach different?
One company that is already advancing wireless charging in a unique way is Humavox with its ETERNATM Platform. Inductive charging works best with relatively large devices with flat surfaces and requires direct contact, but radio frequency wireless charging technology is the much better alternative.With this technology, charging your device can be as easy as dropping it into a charging dock that looks like a bowl, a drawer, a carrying case or anything.

Twitter is the biggest social media platform where you send tweets, grow
followers and gain loyal fans. It’s the first social media platform
that integrated the followers’ feature before any other media platform
like Facebook or instagram.
All over the internet, you get to see guides on how to get tones of
twitter followers. The trick I’m going to be unveiling to you is unlike
any other guide you read on blogs. This is a very unique and much decent
technique in getting targeted twitter followers.
How to Get unlimited twitter followers using Mass followers script
The twitter mass followers script
works perfectly on firefox browsers. So if you’re to implement this
trick, then I advise you do that on your firefox browser. So follow the
procedure as described below.
1. Firstly, launch your firefox browser and then log into your twitter account.
2. After that, go to any follower list as to get followers from the list. If you want to get targeted followers, then look for twitter handles with huge followers that are related to your niche. For instance, I need twitter followers for my technology based twitter handle; all I need to do is find twitter tech based handles with huge followers (techy fans) like Techcrunch.
3. Once you’ve gotten to the followers list, press F12 and click on console in your firefox browser.
5. This script will make you follow everyone on the followers screen displayed on the exact screen. If you scroll past the first side of the screen, you apply same method to follow others.
Once you follow all, 80% of fans you followed will follow you back because they’re interested in getting your niche tweets or updates. Alternatively you can make use of a one-click chrome extension. This method works well on chrome browser. Simply download the extension here and include on your chrome browser. With the extension you can follow all users from the followers list.
Now that you’ve followed lot of users, and you would like to clear
unfollow fans that you’ve followed or fans that didn’t follow you back,
all you need to do is use same chrome extension to make bulk unfollow or
unfollow only those who didn’t follow you back. Alternatively, you can
unfollow all users that you’re following with the twitter unfollow
chrome extension (download here).
Bonus tips
Do you know that the best way to get people to follow you back is to
make sure that your twitter profile is well set for the niche? For
instance, you want followers as a model or celebrity, all you need to do
is go to other hot celebrity followers list, follow most with the
script and when their fans notices that your profile looks hot also, or
looks more like the usual handles they do follow, then you’ll also be
followed.
Warning:
Twitter now has strict rules, so I would advise you follow not more than
400 people in a day and also try to cut the timing. Let me say, you
make use of this trick to follow up to 200 in the morning and another
200 in noon or evening period. With this you can make thousands of
followers on weekly basis.
Make Money tips
Do you know that you can make money with this? Of course selling twitter
followers is one of the best ways to make money online. With sites like
fiverr, seoclerks and other related marketing sites, you can make real
money. Simply setup a GIG and make your customers believe that you’re
giving them thousands of real targeted followers. Believe me you, tons
of $$$$ can be made out of this.

Android devices got some lovely apps and games, but the most
sophisticated apps and games for android devices are the ones you pay
for because there are more values and features added to them. You might
still get some free android apps and games that are also sophisticated, but you see ones with more value, they’re the paid ones.
I’ve published related article on this before, back in 2014, but I just needed to re-update for those of us who still don’t know how to get android paid apps for free. However, I’ll highlight you on some Google Playstore alternatives to get those paid apps free.
1. Downloading android paid apps or games from 3 party source market
2. Downloading via search engine
3. Downloading from Popular platform
Once the unknown source is enabled, download blackmart alpha and applanet, launch and then search for any playstore paid app you’d wish to download and get their paid apps free and working perfectly on your android device.
We’re all aware that Google Playstore is the latest and popular android
markets were we download most of our android apps and games. Most of
these paid apps and games can be gotten elsewhere outside playstore.

Where to Download Android Paid Apps for Free?
There three different methods I’ll be revealing to you…
1. Downloading android paid apps or games from 3 party source market
2. Downloading via search engine
3. Downloading from Popular platform
Method 1 – Downloading from Third Party stores
There are so many Google playstore alternatives where you can easily get
most of the Google Playstore paid apps for free. One my favorite
Playstore alternative is Blackmart Alpha and Applanet follows. On any of
these stores, you get to see almost every app listed on playstore on
their store FOC.
All you’ve to do is enable “unknown source” from your android device. Simply go to settings >> security and then enable unknown source. So as you can easily download paid apps free from third party stores.
Once the unknown source is enabled, download blackmart alpha and applanet, launch and then search for any playstore paid app you’d wish to download and get their paid apps free and working perfectly on your android device.
Method 2 – Downloading from Search engine
By now you should know that there are sites that are updated with almost
all major playstore apps and games. However, these sites offer them
free of charge. So all you’ve to do is your normal search. Input “appnames.apk” on Google’s search bar and hit the enter button, you’ll be provided with reasonable results.
Method 3 – Downloading from Popular platforms
There are other platforms or sites where you can also get android paid apps for free.
Getting to any of these platforms, just search as usual and you’ll be
provided with reasonable results also. Examples of these platforms
include 4shared.com, Apkfiles.com, Apkmaniafull.com and Apkpure.com etc.
outside these platforms mentioned above, one of the most popular and
legal platform is the Amazon underground service. There, you get to download paid apps worth over $20k all for free. I advise you check on any of these platforms and get to download paid android apps for free.

Today's stroll, I would briefly outline to you on how you can improve the life of your laptop battery.
There are some certain factors that do lead to the drainage of our
laptop battery and these factors are mostly ignored by the user. You
must know be aware that the life of a laptop battery is limited, and in
such case, the more the battery of a laptop is being used and the older
the battery of the laptop becomes, then the lesser charge the battery
would be able to accumulate. That's the more reason you notice that the
laptop you purchased 2yrs ago, its battery lasts 6Hrs as of then, but
now lasts 2hrs. This situation is caused due to the fact that the
battery carriers lesser charge.
Without much say, I would briefly outline the 10 surprising tips that can help boost or improve the life of your laptop battery.
1. De frag Your Laptop Frequently
De-fragmentation of your computer helps
to increase the efficiency of your hard disk through reducing data
access time and allows storage to be used more efficiently. And once the
speed of your hard disk is improved with better efficiency, there would
be lower battery usage demand.
2. Eradicate other External or Internal Connectivity
The drainage of battery is caused
mostly by connectivity in the computer. Try to disconnect any
connectivity that is not in use, like the wifi, Bluetooth and other
internal connectivity. And also the External ones try to remove the ones
not in use. And always avoid using your laptop to charge other external
devices like iPod, Tablets and other complex devices, it would drain
your battery quickly.
3. Use more of the hard drive than the CD/DVD
Making use of your hard drive than the
CD/DVD of your laptop is another better way to improve your laptop
battery, because the usage of CD/DVD on your laptop drains the battery.
So you are strongly advice to work more on hard drive.
4. Adjust Your Laptop Screen Brightness
This is another great factor that helps
to improve the life of your laptop battery. It is good to adjust the
brightness of your laptop screen to almost the lowest. Adjusting the
brightness of your laptop screen also saves your eye from any bad health
effect, because the ray from the laptop screen is not good. So try to
adjust your laptop screen brightness.
5. Double Your Laptop RAM
Doubling your laptop RAM is another
great way to improve the life of your laptop battery. Because adding
extra RAM to your laptop would highly improve the speed of your system
and once your computer is working fast and efficiently, then the battery
efficiency would equally increase.
6. Always Keep the Battery of your Laptop clean
Most times, due to the dirt’s on your
battery, the efficiency is likely to reduce and that leads to battery
drainage of your system. But once the metal contacts of the battery is
kept clean, at least once in every month, then you would notice an
improvement of your laptop battery.
7. Make use of the Hibernate process over the standby
Hibernating your laptop is another
great way to save your laptop from battery drainage. Most laptop users
fix their laptops in standby modes because they still have some
activities on going on there system, but I advice you rather hibernate
the laptop to save your battery from drainage.
8. Eradicate Background Running Programs
There is most background running
programs that are not necessary, try to remove or stop such programs
because they highly consume the life of your laptop battery. Also try to
clear the cache of your laptop with Ccleaner program; it helps improve your laptop battery.
9. Clean you’re Laptop Fan
Cleaning the Fan of your laptop helps
to increase the efficiency of your laptop, and as long as the efficiency
of the system is improved, then the battery would work fine. It also
avoids your system from over-heating, because once your laptop over
heats, then there would be high drainage of battery. So try to clean
your laptop fan twice a year.
10. Minimizing Level of Gaming on Your Laptop
Though there are many laptops that are
gaming computers, but that doesn't means that we should be gaming with
it on daily basis. Try to minimize the level of gaming on your laptops.
And also make sure you run already installed games, because running
games via CD/DVD would lead to high drainage of the laptop battery. So
try to minimize the level of gaming on your laptop and the battery would
work fine.
Final Words
The truth of the whole matter is that,
anything that you know, that would help increase or improve the
efficiency of your laptop, should also be able to improve the life of
your laptop battery.
