On Lenovo laptops, the button is a slide switch under the front of the keyboard. That button is a good thing (TM): it conserves battery power as well preventing needlessly subjection of your "lap" to radiation. Some people actually use a laptop for productive work; and unless you are browsing, email, and videoconferencing, why maintain a wifi connection? Inasmuch as wifi radiation is essentially the same as cellular phone radiation, and some research indicates that a few years of phone-held-up-to-the-ear cellular usage can cause a brain tumor. RLH
