The PowerPanel™ utility provides several predefined power management 
profiles. Each profile consists of a group of power management settings that are 
designed to meet specific power management goals — ranging from maximum 
power management to no power management. You can change the settings for 
any of the predefined profiles (except for the Disable Power Management 
profile), or you can create your own profile to suit your portable computing 
needs. The predefined profiles are:

Maximum Performance
Provides the best system performance while still conserving power.

Maximum Battery Life
Provides power saving features to give you maximum battery life and 
good performance. It slows the notebook and puts it into Standby mode 
after a specified time period.

Disable Power Management 
Turns off all power management features such as Standby and 
Hibernate modes.
You can not change the settings of this profile.

AC Power 
The power management state when AC power is in use. Similar to the 
Power Management Off setting. Power Management automatically 
loads the AC profile unless you disable this feature.
