    Is it OK to run my laptop @ HIGH PERFORMANCE mode 24/7?

    I has just formatted my notebook and installed all the latest drivers

    Everytime I restart I get the following warning message but even though my Bluetooth is On, I am not facing any problems.

    Shall I turn off Bluetooth or just ignore this message?

    This has come up a few times. I'd say, just stick with Balanced performance mode. Your computer should be quieter and cooler and the CPU will still clock up when it needs to.

    Regarding Bluetooth and WLAN, if you don't use Bluetooth just turn it off. If you do use it and aren't experiencing any issues, then you can ignore the message. So far I haven't had any problems having both enabled at the same time.

    Honestly speaking, I've been running the high performance mode the entire time I've owned my Qosmio. Over the past year and a half there has been no degradation noticed in any way. :D

    Also, I have a laptop cooler too so I can do this without fear of my machine popping on my lap... which it wouldn't anyway, but I like to have a bit of reassurance at times. ;)
