    I just realized that Vista Home Basic does not have Laptop Power Management. So does lenovo ship it with its own power mamagement software? If Not I will put on XP (might do this anyways)

    I also noticed there is no support for Turbo Memory in XP, if there is no support for turbo memory in XP then why do they allow you to add it with the XP OS when customizing? Same goes for vista basic (why is it available if it won't properly run on a laptop - no power management)???

    XP *does* have Lenovo's own Power Manager, in case you want to go ahead and make the OS switch.

    but XP already has power management? Too late for me to switch, it shipped out today.

    Lenovo's Power Manager runs on top of WinXP's Power Manager, so to speak. It's got heaps more power options than WinXP to boot.
