I have a Toshiba L500-21T with Intel core I3 M330 2.13GHZ having 4 cores with Amd Mobility Rdeon 4500 Graphic card, 360Gb HD and 6GB DDR3 RAM.

How can I run my lappy smoothly while giving me reasonable battery life and less heat generation. [I don't want to use a cooler.]

  • I run 12.10 as a secondary OS on my laptop, booting off of an external HDD. My specs are much worse than yours, and i get about 4 hours of bat life by turning the backlight down. Other than the backlight, what kind f power saving features does ubuntu have?
