    Does anyone know where this Acer Media console button is on the 1681? I referred to the manual, it mentions it, but doesn't say which key! Just that it's located on the "Acer Media Console".

    I get the impression that it only works from Windows on the 1600 series. I've not been able to find a way to activate mine any other way and the manual only says how to activate it using the "E" key located right next to the screen next to the quick keys for email and explorer etc.
