    Click the battery icon in the lower right-hand side.

    I personally love the power saver feature. It extends my battery life by more than half an hour, and I notice no slowdown when using my system for things other than gaming... No point in gaming on battery (unless u're on a plane).

    yea powermizer helps a lot when on battery, with the noise, heat and battery life and nothing lags except games like gravitator also mentioned.

    when gaming or doing intensive tasks just turn the thing to high performance, thats it, when not put it back to balanced or powersaver.
