Caveat laptopor. I installed OpenBSD on my X201 just to give it a shot, and the battery life is atrocious.

This may help. Using `apm -C` or `apm -A`

This.
People mustn't expect everything to ever work straight out of the box on anything. Much like you have to install the Lenovo PM driver on windows, you have to config apm on OpenBSD.
This is also well known.

I don't for my Hackintosh. And I don't install the Lenovo PM driver on Windows. Windows update may, but I don't.
They certainly can expect that, remember how it was before when nothing worked out of the box?

Yes. Even worse than that, I remember when the box contained a pile of bits and you had to sift through piles of manuals to assemble it all first.
I've heard only positive things when using OpenBSD on Lenovo X2XX's. What window manager are you using?
