    This is true for all G1S. The media power button is for the DJ. When you press that button, a green LED next to the button comes on.

    I've noticed that a centrino picture will turn to a pentium-m if you remove say the intel wireless card :) on older asus notebooks :)

    That was an Intel requirement. Intel only allowed manufacturers to use the Centrino name if they included the full Centrino parts package which was the Intel Pentium M CPU, associated Intel chipset, and Intel wireless networking chip. For simplicity, I guess many manufacturers built a single BIOS image that just checked which splash screen to display.
