ABSTRACT:
A portable information handling system is provided that monitors one or more sensed conditions to determine if the system is currently placed in an unusable state. If the system determines that it has been placed in an unusable state such as being placed in the dark or upside down, then a reduced power mode is entered. Significant power savings are thus achieved because the system consumes power at a substantially reduced rate when it is determined to be in an unusable state.
