    I received my M1330 not too long ago and I think it is great. I just have a few concerns:

    First of all, when you connect the ac (power) cable to the side of the laptop, can you wiggle the end of the plug up and down a little bit? Mine seems to have a little play to it and i'm not sure if it is normal or not. If it is normal, it is fine.

    In addition, how does that wifi catcher work? When I have my laptop off and hold the wifi catcher switch, nothing happens. I even went through the hassle of unlocking the Administrator account in Vista Home Premium and when I shutdown from that account and pull the wifi catch switch, the LED blinks blue once and that's it. I have a wireless router in my home.

    I also noticed that sometimes I would have to hit the power button twice or three times to turn it on. It seems to occur mostly when I use the wifi catcher switch at shutdown. When I hit the power button once, nothing happens. When I press it again, the power button led will come on blue and then eventually turn off. Then when I hit it the third time, it will start the computer. I have the A05 bios by the way.
