Dell has gone its own way with regard to power management. In addition to the standard Windows power schemes, the direct supplier gives users the ability to create power schemes that are tuned to their own specific needs with the "Quickset" tool.
Good: Differing from standard schemes, it is also possible to define presets for the display brightness and the activity of LAN components.
