OS compatibility: Mac OS X 10.6 or later; compatible MacBook Pro model

Apple’s recent MacBook Pro models boast battery life that’s so much better than their predecessors’ that casual users may not worry about finding ways to conserve energy. With three or four hours of real-world use between charges, plenty of juice is available for visits to a coffeeshop, many domestic airline flights, or untethered work away from a desk.

However, if you plan to be away from power for longer stretches, or if your battery indicator dips into the low double-digit percentages, battery conservation becomes much more top-of-mind. You can extend your MacBook Pro’s battery life by taking advantage of the system’s capability to switch between its integrated and discrete graphics processing units (GPUs). More specifically, you can use Cody Krieger’s free gfxCardStatus to force your laptop to use its battery-sipping integrated GPU.

Some quick background: All 15-inch and 17-inch MacBook Pro models from 2010 and later, as well as 2008 and 2009 models outfitted with an Nvidia GeForce 9400M/9600M GT, dynamically switch between a low-power (and lower-performance) integrated Intel graphics chip and a power-hungrier (and better-performance) discrete Nvidia or AMD graphics card, based on the needs of running applications. The problem is, some applications you wouldn't think need a lot of graphics power actually rely on features such as OS X’s Core Animation that require the discrete graphics card. So even if you’re working from battery power and trying to minimize battery usage (by turning down screen brightness, for example), you may still be using discrete-graphics-card cycles—and, thus, more energy.
