Configure the power profile settings

feature is available from Dell Hybrid Client version 1.5 onwards.

6. From the Power Profile drop-down list, select one of the following options:

● Balanced—By default, the Balanced power mode is selected. This mode balances energy consumption and system
performance by adapting the processor speed of the device to your activity.
● Maximum Performance—This mode maximizes system performance by running processor at higher speeds.
7. Click Save & Publish.
NOTE:
You can also configure the power profile settings locally on Dell Hybrid Client. User personalization is supported

personalization feature is enabled on Wyse Management Suite. See, Configure the power settings locally.

Dell Hybrid Client supports user data roaming across devices that are powered by Dell Hybrid Client. When a user logs in to
another device with same username, all opened applications and browser data are restored from the previous device. This
