Does removing optical disk in notebooks improve battery life a lot?

NonTechSavvySheep · Nov 26, 2016

while being able to keep things running in notebooks. My current attempt

-Use SSD

-Remove Hardisk

-Use 1 stick of RAM (Maybe)

-Use lower screen resolution (I don’t want anything lower than 1366x768 or 720p)

-Use U or Y series Processors of i3 or i5

-Use Integrated GPU

-Use smaller screen (13″ or 14″)

-Dim the screen

-Turn off sounds

-No touch screen

-Turn off unused features

Things that I can’t do.

-Buy a Macbook (IOS)

-Using Core M processors

Any other suggestion? are M.2 SSD more power efficient than regular SATA III SSD?
how do I find the the comparison for power consumption between SAMSUNG 850 EVO M.2 SATA 250GB and SAMSUNG 850 EVO SATA III 250GB

if there is no disk in the optical drive it will stay dormant until you put a disk in or it checks for a disk during bootup. an SSD is the same no matter what connection you are using.

The laptop I want to buy provide M.2 slot. and has 1TB seagate 7200RPM. if I remove the Hard drive and just use SSD, how much power condumption do I save? do I get like extra 1 hour or 2 hour battery life if I use Samsung 850 evo? if there is another low power SSD, could you mention any of those?

i am not sure what the percentage you would save would be but you're guaranteed to save some since an SSD drive has no movable parts. the platters in a HDD would be running almost all the time
