mode slightly lowers performance of some
devices to reduce electric power consumption.
You can realize measurable power savings by
using it continuously.
TOSHIBA eco Utility helps control the power
consumption of your computer. Various
information can help you understand your degree
of contribution to the environment.
Furthermore, this utility contains Peak shift
function that can help reduce power usage during
periods of peak demand by shifting some power
consumption to periods when demand is lower.
The utility also supports "eco charge mode". The

extending the life cycle of the battery.
