    CONSUMER IR — Lets you transfer files from your computer to another infraredcompatible
    device without using cable connections. When you receive your computer,
    the sensor is disabled. You can use the system setup program (see "Using the System
    Setup Program" on page 185) to enable the sensor. For information on transferring

    So..I remember someone in another thread saying that the IR on the laptop was only usable with the express card remote...just wanted to clarify as this is an awesome feature I was unaware of and will now be able to put it to REALLY good use..

    I know what you mean. I didn't opt for bluetooth on my laptop because i'd NEVER use it. I'm in the loop with USEFUL technology..**** like iPhones and stuff that uses bluetooth doesnt make me go wild.
