    Whenever I'm on battery mode, I turn down the screen brightness to the lowest setting, and when I'm on AC, I turn the brightness to half. Is there a way where I can unplug the AC and it will automatically adjust the screen brightness to the lowest setting and vice versa?

    The Brightness settings stay, in all notebooks I have seen. Whatever the brightness on battery usage was, is loaded as soon as it goes to battery power. So you can set the brightness to min., and it'll remember the setting.

    It only goes down 3 bars down from AC to battery. So if i have the battery on 1 bar, it will jump to 4 bars when I'm using AC.

    Mine saves its settings as well ... at least I think it does. Pretty impressive. I even had a window open when I shut my Mac down the other day, and when I started it up again ... the window was right where I left it, freaky!!!
