Understanding the importance of power and battery consumption for the laptops and all other such devices, Windows 10 has been added with an option to run the computer on the high performance or on the balanced power option.
High Performance Mode
While in the High Performance mode, all the features, provisions and all the related apps are run with full power and up to the maximum performance to give the best productivity and working capacity. As in the high performance mode, the computer is required to work up to its full capacity, the power and battery sources are utilized up to the maximum, causing the battery to drain, rather quickly.
Balanced Mode
On the other hand, in the Balanced Mode, only those features and apps of the computer are run which are essentially required for the balanced mode, necessary performance and the working of the computer. If you are running the Windows on the balanced mode, the less energy will be consumed and battery will continue for longer times.
So, if you are running the laptop on battery and want to conserve the battery for working till longer, it is advised to opt the Windows upon the ‘Balanced’ mode.
