    I just got my One, loaded iatkos with speedstep and everything on it, and recently, i found my battery would only hold a charge for about 1 hour. this frustrates me b/c i use it for very light duty work. I tried to change power usage with the menu bar thing, but it would always change back to the default of normal power usage. can anyone help?

    Have you checked to see if you get 2+ hours under XP with the same conditions? This would rule out a battery issue.

    I'm sorry to see so many with OS/X issues. I installed using the MSI WIND ISO, and went through a few simple post processing steps, and find that everything works well, including speed step. I get slightly better battery life using OS/X than XP!
