Joulemeter is an amazing piece of software which is able to quite precisely measure how much electricity the different parts of your computer are using at any given time. You can see very detailed information about specific parts, and really follow what is going on inside the box. With Joulemeter, you will not only be able to become more aware of your energy consumption, as the expert, but detailed view provided by it can also, in many ways, help you understand your machine's performance and fine-tune it to better suit your needs.

Out of the box, your Windows system is only able to offer you a generic estimation of how you want to balance your usage between performance and saving energy. Quite often, you may lose performance and have to deal with a slower computer because you have selected a plan which is not optimal for how your workflow and your personal daily needs. But, without a precise understanding of what you are doing and why not get to save much of your battery-life or impact your general usage of energy in any considerable way. With the clear and precise readings given by Joulemeter, both as a real-time display or as registered information over some time, you can check precisely what is going on, and then configure Windows to make your machine serve you in the best way possible, just like you need it.
