While having a keyboard with a backlight is both aesthetically pleasing and useful in the dark, it is also a major battery drainer.

Keeping many tabs open in a web browser is a common occurrence. Many people keep these tabs open to stay organized or to remind themselves to do something. While it seems minor, having many tabs open will drain your battery. A good solution to this is to bookmark your current tabs into a folder.
