I'm pretty sure my previous Dell Inspiron laptop allowed you to disable a core. As apj said, it most likely wont save you much (if any) battery life. The processor only uses what it needs.

Geoff VIP Member Sep 16, 2006 #6 If you really wanted to, you could also change each process to only use one core. So then the second one will have ver minimal activity.
