Or is that something that's coming with the eventual power management update?
Right now, the WiFi seems to be running constantly. (at least i always found free ports wen scanning) and the green processor led is constantly flickering aswell. So thats probably a major reason for power to drain so quickly. I dont know, if the stylus power management works yet either, because in the manual it said, that after 3 minutes you would have to put the stylus back in the back and pull it out again, so it functions after stylus power down. But i could always just use it.

There is no switch to turn the devices off. I assume the power management will be functional in the final version of the OS.
