"I am not removing the battery; since the device is new, I have no intention of opening it. I don't play games on this laptop, so I don't need high CPU performance. My priority is both preserving battery health and extending the battery life as much as possible for daily tasks (VS Code, Firefox). I am looking for suggestions to run the CPU at lower power states or completely disable the NVIDIA GPU to save energy.Hasan Çabuk– Hasan Çabuk2026-01-26 15:03:03 +00:00Commented Jan 26 at 15:03

You misunderstood my answer, that was just for information on what was done in the past. And you should not open your laptop; not all laptops have permanently installed batteries some can simply be removed from outside.ReflectYourCharacter– ReflectYourCharacter2026-01-26 15:12:29 +00:00Commented Jan 26 at 15:12

I see, thanks for the clarification. I misunderstood your point. Since my battery is internal, I'll stick to software optimizations and BIOS settings as we discussed. I've just tried powertop --auto-tune and I'm currently monitoring the results. Do you have any other specific tips for 14th gen Intel HX CPUs to lower power consumption during light tasks like coding?Hasan Çabuk– Hasan Çabuk2026-01-26 15:14:52 +00:00Commented Jan 26 at 15:14

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
