By default the three power plans Balanced, Power Saver, and High 
Performance are satisfactory for most people and do not need to be 
edited. The Power Saver plan is the best used for maximum battery 
time. The High Performance plan will give you the shortest battery 
time, but the highest performance from your computer. The 
Balanced plan is a compromise between battery time and 
performance.
