[QUOTE="surfwax95, post: 176764, member: 12561"] Performance: Does not set a cap on the processor's limit, screen brightness all the way up, hard drive does not sleep until told. Reduced: Sets a ~75% cap on the processor, screen brightness reduced, hard drives sleep every 5 minutes or so (if not in use). Battery Saver: Sets a ~50% cap on the processor, screen brightness on 3 clicks, screen turns off every 3 minutes, hard drives sleep annoyingly too often, the computer will sleep in 5 minutes. *These are just estimates, and from what I've noticed using the SysStat widget (i.e. my processor will never get over 50% when BatterySaver is on.)* Yes, "Reduced" will increase your battery life by ~15%, and probably reduce the heat dissipation, but yes, performance will suffer.
