When the computer is stationary, HP CoolSense prioritizes performance and is set to Off mode. When the computer is mobile, HP CoolSense prioritizes temperature and is set to On mode. To change the cooling preferences, follow these steps: 1. Select Start > All Programs > HP > HP CoolSense. 2. Select a cooling mode. Intel Wireless Display Intel® Wireless Display allows you to share your computer content wirelessly on your TV.

Similarly, when you switch from battery power to AC power, the computer can switch back to the high-performance mode. NOTE: In some instances, in order to optimize performance of the computer, the system does not allow you to switch modes, or it may prompt you to switch. It may also be necessary to close all programs before switching. When you switch between AC and battery power, you are notified that the computer is about to switch graphics modes.
