    I just installed Win 7 on X200 and installed all the drivers w/o problem. The only thing bothers me is that there is no option to change the wireless power consumption in the New PowerManager (v.3.05) for Win 7!!! This wasn't the case in Vista. There was a option for wireless right above the PCI Express setting. But with this PowerManager in Win7 I don't see the option.
    Does anybody here has the same problem?

    totally unrelated question, if you don't mind answering: when installing the drivers did you follow any particular order? or just let the "windows update" do its job? or did you go with "system update"?

    I dont see it on mine either but you can still change the wireless power settings through windows power options control panel which should do the same thing as the lenovo power manager.

    Try going into the wireless adapter's settings and change it from there. I don't really remember if there is such a setting in power manager though.

    I changed my setting in the windows power option in control panel like miner said. It helps. The fan is not on as much.

    The option used to be in the Power Manager when I had vista.

    Username 7 - I did not follow any particular order, but I did install the chipset driver first.
