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  

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

Changing energy plan is useless in this case, probably only Pci-e could be turned to the max. But it only affects gaming.

Try these,

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

Hi,

we are deploying 10 laptops with the same exact specs. These are used just for word processing, internet browsing, printing and teams meetings with dual monitors. I though that 13th gen i5 is a bit overkill, but as it turned out it is the exact opposite. The laptop feels really slow, ui is lagging, opening file explorer takes 3-5 seconds??? Is this windows 11 issue, or is this cpu weak? cause I find this really hillarious. Everything is set to it's highest performance mode including bios.

 

Dell Latitude 3540

Intel core i5-1335U

16gb ddr4 ram 3 200mhz

512gb ssd nvme

It's Microsoft that's why. Disable windows defender, system restore and smartscreen, install primocache on your system,  problem solved.
