    I've never used it and the manual doesn't say, but I read somewhere you have to turn on the computer with either the second or the third button on the left side across from the power button.

    apparently you get into expressgate by pressing the turbo button from a powered off state. ....but it's got some kind of horrible resolution instead of 1920x1080 like it should.


    I never even tried expressgate before I clean formatted, good luck.

    If it is like the other G series you have to turn the computer off and one of the touch pad buttons should light up, and you press that and it should boot into EG

    When the computer is off, just hit the Turbo button (the one in the middle) on the top left side. I guess it could have its uses, but booting to Windows isn't that much longer.
