A8jm owner's Lounge

I know this will start getting cliche, but i need to address a few things directly at the a8jm owners. and what better way to start than this?



Firs of all, how are your keyboard keys handling? Im a heavy user on my keyboard, and though it has only been 14 days since acquiring the notebook, im already noticing wear on the keyboard, primarily the space bar (jump for all my games).



Second, has anyone figured out how to clean the area above the quicklaunch buttions? There seems to be alot of stuff trapped in there, and i can't find anything to remove it.



Lastly, for those of you who have tried the on-board mic, does yours pick up your typing as well?

I think it would be a good idea to find all the previous A8Jm threads and ask the mods to merge them to here, so we have just one place for all the concerns, instead of having them spread around the place.



ps. I'll find all the threads later on when I have some time.. but if anybody cares to do it before then... by all means

Well, here's a list of all the threads regarding A8J... I stopped after awhile... maybe too much...



Would any mod be kind enough to merge these threads? Dunno if it's possible for the mods to merge multiple threads at once?

Just a suggestion... if the merge happens, also correct the spelling in the title?



Sorry, it bugs me to see "onwer's"







Edit: Darrick, that's some impressive footwork. Thanks for the effort.

the a8jm is pretty much the only place to buy it in the states. milestonepc.com might allow the bluetooth add-on.

Swatkins : np ... I just did a search for A8Jm, and copy pasted the thread id's .. and yeah the 'onwer' spelling bugs me too Gusto.. I think u can change it because you started the thread...



ejl : I don't think Milestonepc allows the BT right now. I asked him numerous times before buying... but it doesn't seem to be so easy to install it... requires disassembly of notebook. I think there's a thread somewhere saying if there's enough demand, he might do it. But for now... no BT for Canadian A8Jm...

Infonec PC and NCIX seem to have the A8Jm for $1689 now, sucks but the machine is worth every penny .



Today i noticed that on the underside the plastic covering the hard drive sort of makes clicking noises if i press it, and has a little bit of flex i tried to open it to see if there were any problem, but there were none.



I am sure its just a little issue which causes no problem.

Reply 8 : A8jm owner's Lounge

I actually emailed a couple of other Canadian resellers that had A8Jm in store. Infonec came back to me, saying they could install internal Bluetooth for $30 service charge. I emailed them back (their reply was from a sales rep) asking if they knew how hard it would be, and if their techs were capable of doing it.



Never got a reply back...
