Mileage may vary, but I've only ever had a "noticeable" difference between these so-called "power plans" when on a laptop and NO DIFFERENCE when on a desktop.

Again, "mileage may vary".  And I had to really benchmark the far corners of the universe to even "see" the difference on a laptop.

My laptops are i5's and i7's so I cannot say this un-noticeable "improvement" is true for i3's or not.

I'm also HUGE into quantifiable measurements, a power plan "placebo effect" is nil to none for me, I seek quantifiable measurements.

 

edit - oops, the title does specifically state that this IS on a LAPTOP  :blushing:

my point remains, seek an actual "performance metric" that you can physically MEASURE, repeatedly, don't go by some "gut feeling" PLACEBO EFFECT.

Follow the instructions in the link I included.
Over "Balanced" you should have the option of choosing "High" or "Ultimate".

P.S.

This is my PC where I chose "Ultimate" but I would also have "High":

P.S.

I would not want MS to prevent the Ultimate power plan in laptops.

But you should be able to select at least "High".

Follow the instructions in this link (if they seem easier to implement):

there is only balanced and from what I've seen it has to do something with modern standby

Try these,

Also check you are using an SSD, some manufactures still cheap out on giving you an HD instead.
