Changing the power scheme

Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options such as when the display or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.

The processor installed in your notebook may use technology to conserve battery power. This processor can change its operating speed according to the power source. Your notebook’s default settings operate the processor at full speed while connected to AC power and at reduced speed (which uses less power) while using battery power.
