By default the three power plans Balanced, eco, and High
Performance are satisfactory for most people and do not need to be
edited. The eco 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.
