<title>Choose a power profile</title>
<p>You can manage power usage by choosing a <gui>Power Mode</gui>. There are
three possible profiles:</p>
<list>
<item>
<p><gui>Balanced</gui>: Standard performance and power usage. This is the
default setting.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui>Power Saver</gui>: Reduced performance and power usage. This setting
maximizes battery life. It may enable some power saving options, such as
aggressively dimming the screen, and prevent those from being switched off.</p>
</item>
<item>
<p><gui>Performance</gui>: High performance and power usage. This mode will only
be visible if it is supported by your computer. It will be selectable if
your computer is running on AC power. If your device supports lap
detection, you will not be able to select this option if the device is
running on someone's lap.</p>
