    Does what it says it will do. Lets you set your CPU from high to battery saving on the fly. May be useful when running a large Access database or Excel spreadsheet, and you need to save it quickly, but don't want to grab the power adapter out of your bag.

    A nice little quick-and-dirty "overclocker" for your laptop. No FSB, frequency, or voltage controls, but there are still plenty of performance options -- that are best left untouched except by sufficiently knowledgeable users. (If used incorrectly, you can cook your laptop.)

    The overall interface is nice, but the system tray display needs a lot of work. Luckily, it's pretty much useless anyway and shouldn't be missed.
