    I just got the A13 two days ago, and have been working to get it all set up. Of course, a minor but fun part of that is customizing the fx features. For some reson this doesn't seem to work right on the A13, or at least it doesn't always work right. Sometimes the "apply" takes and sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I created a theme and then applied it, and nothing happened. I was annoyed and had other things to do so I just let it be and moved on, then randomly like an hour later the theme took effect (I might have rebooted somewhere in there).

    Anyway, point is that it doesn't work the way I remmber it on my old m11x. Anyone else having this problem?

    The software is slow, but it's always been slow (at least it was on my M17x)

    For some reason, if you tweaked it nicely with the power plans, you can have this much power.

    Okay - I just remember it being a pretty snappy and easy system on my m11x. But it seems to be working okay now and after a few reboots it seems to come on just fine the way I want it.

    I'm glad it's working better now. If you get any issues that may require our tech support department to get involved, let me know.
