Do I have to do it manually, or does the Windows Mobility Centre have an option where the laptop conserves power when on battery, but when plugged in increases performance?
I know I could probably go into the advanced settings and create my own profile, but I don't understand all the options within the menus, and I've discovered that Vista has now removed contextual help from control panel items (previously I remember being able to right click and "What's This" options to get an idea. This change is broken!!).
