Intel Smart Connect Technology 5.0

Intel Smart Connect Technology is a program designed to keep applications such as Outlook* and Windows* Live Mail up to date by periodically waking the computer from sleep/standby mode for a short period of time. The program also adjusts the update frequency depending on the battery level or system temperature. It allows the computer to sleep longer between updates to conserve battery power or keep the system cool.

Intel Smart Connect Technology is designed to update programs by periodically waking your computer from sleep/standby mode for a short time. This function works with applications that automatically get their data from the Internet, such as Outlook* and Windows* Live Mail. The program automatically adjusts the update frequency if your computer battery level is dropping, or if the system temperature rises. Even though you select a 15-minute update frequency, your computer can sleep longer between updates to save battery (if present), or keep the system cool.
