Managed Save-Energy-Mode:
· Many computer users leave their computers at home running all day, for example to access certain files while traveling. The problem is that these computers wait without to do something for user's input and consume unnecessary power.

· The new feature allows you to save energy and to reach the computer simultaneously. The computer will be put in standby mode for 10 minutes and then automatically wakes up to check whether in between the user has switched this mode off. If not, the computer will sleep for 10 minutes other minutes.
