The power savings will come from a feature called HD Read Ahead. Another power saving feature called Zero Power Optical Disc Drive will provide further power savings.
How To Use Skydrive as a 25GB Hard Drive
How would you like to add 25GB of storage to your computer without installing a new hard drive? If you do then you need to check out Microsoft's SkyDrive and SD Explorer, which together can add 25GB of storage to your computer, and make it act just like a normal hard drive.(dell latitude d830 battery)
Not too many people know about the free 25GB of storage available from Microsoft SkyDrive which is a shame since it is a great place to store documents, images, files and more completely free. All you need to use SkyDrive is a Windows Live ID (which can be a Hotmail, MSN Messenger or XBOX Live Login as well) and to sign up for the SkyDrive service.
When you use SkyDrive through your browser you have a limited functionality, but with SkyDrive Explorer you can add SkyDrive to your computer so that it functions just like a hard drive.(dell inspiron 1520 laptop battery)
Some notable features of SkyDrive Explorer are:
* Easy and convenient: You don't need to go through hassle of web browser and upload one file at one time. Another plus is that you don't need to know how SkyDrive works since it acts just like your hard drive.

* Compatibility: SDexplorer works in both 32 as well as 64 bit operating system.
