The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    Anyone know how to get the Mail button on the 7510GX to go to gmail? Right now my options under internet properties/programs are, Hotmail, Thunderbird and Outlook. But I strickly use gmail for now. And there doesn't seem to be a way to add a web based address.

    Yeah, most hardware buttons like that only support their list of programs. I would think there's a way to add one to the list that kicks off the default browser with the proper URL. It's probably a hack though. I don't know for sure, just speculating.
