How to run Ubuntu 12.10 on a Laptop with maximum power saving?

Question

I have a Toshiba L500-21T with Intel core I3 M330 2.13GHZ having 4 cores with Amd Mobility Rdeon 4500 Graphic card, 360Gb HD and 6GB DDR3 RAM.

How can I run my lappy smoothly while giving me reasonable battery life and less heat generation. [I don't want to use a cooler.]
