    On previous Lenovo machines, there has been a visual warning when it was about to power down (save your work, etc).

    It's not the work saving bit I'm interested in as it obviously does that. But a simple reminder that I didn't have the mains plugged in, giving me a chance to put it right before it hibernated, would be great.

    Any ideas please.

    I'd just like to add, I have looked at the power options and the 'Low Battery Notification' is On. But it dosn't seem to do anything.

    Normally, I keep an eye on Lenovo Power Manager's big battery icon on the task bar. However, last year I had some unexpected hibernations when the computer decided that the battery was almost empty when it wasn't.
