    So I got my m11xR2 yesterday and I must say, I am extremely happy with it. So far it's run the games I want to fine while also allowing me to take it on the go an write with some great battery life. However I have run into a bit of a snag but it seems to be a driver issue.

    I have a Razer DeathAdder USB mouse that I use on my desktop and was planning on using on my laptop as well. However, (here's where it gets weird) anytime I plug in the mouse I lose my Wireless Internet connection. As soon as I unplug it the internet works fine. I had a work around where I would run the game and once it was loaded online I would plug the mouse in and it would work. After getting a blue screen from that though I stopped using it all together.

    I've plugged in other USB peripherals that have worked fine. It gives me this problem in any USB port I plug it into. I restored the computer to a restore point before the mouse drivers were installed and I'm going to see if I can figure something out for it.

    Figured I would let people in on this weird problem in case they've heard of something similar.
