Many laptops will enter a power-saving mode while not charging. The power-saving mode is most likely configurable, and will reduce power available to components like the CPU thereby reducing their functionality. You could consider providing a more powerful laptop, disabling the power-saving mode or instructing the user to plug in the charger while in meetings.
