Description

I would like to set suspend in my laptop before 11 minutes. 11 minutes is a lot of time and battery power is crucial for users who are on the go. And besides it helps save energy and make the system more green.

Just be aware that spinning up and down the HDD every 2 minutes does kill them..

+1, because I like the idea and it will be safe anyway when we shift to SSD.

I believe this is based on how long it takes for your computer to be considered idle. (which can be set in the screensaver options)

I think your limit might be 11 minutes because the screensaver is set to start after 10. Sleep has to be after the screenscaver. Just change your screensaver start time.
