 4. Turn off or remove devices not be used:

You can connect multiple USB devices such as ipod, mobile phones, USB drives, etc. Many USB devices when connected will enable the charging power of the computer, so you should disconnect devices when you are not using them. If you use a USB mouse, you can save power by replacing it with the touchpad or tablet.
