Power Options: Laptop?

Power Options: Laptop?

In the hidden icons windoid of my laptop's system tray the battery power
displays full (100%). I see the power option was "Balanced."

I thought about that because since my laptop is usually plugged into an AC
outlet, why be balanced. I turned on the "High Performance" power option.

I'm thinking that "High Performance" is always on when on AC. So that power
option might need to be "Balanced" when on battery power?

You can adjust any of the plans to fit whatever way you would like it.
Just set the Plugged In options to the same settings as High
Perforamnce, and the On Battery options to Balanced or maybe a little
better battery savings.

Balanced can be configured to be "Always On" when on AC.
