    Will you be able to get significant energy savings when you select the option named "Energy Star" instead of Balance? pros and cons?

    It's not going to be significant on these models. I think on the P150HM I use (in combination with Windows power set to Battery Saver), it averaged about 10-20 minutes more battery life.

    The pro would be a few minutes extra battery, the con is obviously reduced performance while using it (not a lot, but noticeable).
