Look at the power plan. It speaks for itself, doesn't it?

Basically, a power plan let's you to control your PC's energy use (battery life on laptops) versus the amount of performance you need. :yes:

Actually Gil, power plans have been in Windows since Windows ME (although they were called power "schemes" until Vista). ;)

You hate Vista now? I remember back like two or three years ago you told us how much you liked Vista.

Yes. :yes:

Yes, they were in older versions of windows, but they weren't called plans, nor did they show up on the desktop (to the best of my knowledge)

They did if you had a laptop. ;) And besides, even though they weren't called plans, they still perform the exact same function as it does in Vista. :yes:

SR, out of curiosity, what kind of HP notebook do you have? And are you happy with it? I'm in the market for a new one, and am looking to spend $900-approx. $1200. I've been looking at Dell, just because I love the custom options/upgrades, but I've seen some nice HPs out there. Thanks!
