  1. Balanced is recommended option that automatically balances energy consumption and increases or decreases CPU speed accordingly.  

  2. Power saver reduces 

  3. Possible performance of CPU to save energy.

  4. High performance has more energy use as it focuses on device performance, not on saving power.


Choosing a plan for your computer is your choice; however, if you don’t switch it, the Balanced option will stay at work. The balanced power plan is perfect and default for everyone. If you want to lower the brightness, you can do it manually instead of changing a complete power plant.
