Today I have done the following non-stop from 8am to 5pm:
Email via Outlook 2013
Web browsing via IE
Documents via Word 2013
Spreadsheets via Excel 2013
Corporate IM via Pidgin
Notes via OneNote 2013
Facebook via People
Random installs via Store
I still have 64% battery left.
I made a custom power plan and created a CPU setting that scales the CPU to 80% while on battery. This prevents "Turbo" and I don't see a performance hit at all. (This might affect video and games but I dont do that at work).
I also have my screen brightness at around 40%. It's absolutely bright enough in the office. Outside would be a different matter all together.
Just sharing what I do and the config I am running in case anyone else is look for settings to try during "office hours".
