    I just recently purchased the 9200, and while amazing in 3d performance when plugged i'm getting around 3x slower framerates when I unplug it even when set in performance mode. It seems like the cpu is clocked at full, but the graphics card is slowed down to conserve power. Did anyone else happen to notice this or see a way to work around it? I have a good feeling it will degrade battery life a good bit, heh.
