    Hello. There was a setting that allowed you to allow the battery gauge to show how much time you have have remaining like 1:30 for 90min instead of showing the percentage of charge left. I can't seem to find it anymore and was hoping someone could remind me. Thanks in advance.

    A what?...

    Umm that's actually a good idea, wonder if there is a setting. I'm assuming you're talking about the ThinkVantage Battery Icon.

    Left click the batter icon on your taskbar, click "show" and then "remaining time when on battery"
