What to bring to meetings
If your meeting is relatively short, you probably do not need to bring anything with
you other than your computer. If your meeting will be longer, or if your battery is not
fully charged, you may want to bring the AC adapter with you to plug in your
computer in the meeting room.
If the meeting room does not have an electrical outlet, reduce the drain on the
battery by putting the computer in Sleep mode. Press <Fn> + <F4> or close the
display cover whenever you are not actively using the computer. To resume, open
the display (if closed), then press and release the power button.
