    Hey guys, I recently received my x201 Tablet and have been wondering: will I be able to get better battery life by doing a complete, clean install of Win7 x64 or should I keep tweaking the setup I have?

    Also, can you share what you do with your x200 series laptop (doesn't have to be a tablet) to maximize/improve your battery life?

    Thanks!

    just shutdown the unnecessary background process from the backgrounds.

    type msconfig in the search box, this should allow to selective shutdown any unneeded background processes that you may not want.
