    And so I got some weird handles on these newest CF-30 Mk2's...

    Pic attached. The thing is: You can't even clip the stylus to it whatsoever... So why is it even there?!?!?!

    I got 6 units in today, 4 x mk1's and 2 x mk2's... All but one of the mk1's have this goofy "holder"...

    What gives??

    Those are the standard handles on the NON-TOUCH models if they are in fact touch screen then they were probably upgraded after mfg. and left the original handles.

    Ahhhh... This makes sense considering the "3" instead of a "T" as the 2nd digit in the model #. The clown I bought them from claims that they are t-screens... I will verify and report back in about 20 minutes once I get the cloned.

    Thanks

    Who's the clown? You, who should certainly know better, buy Toughbooks with non-touch model numbers and expect them to have touch screens? We're all very disappointed in you Rob. :D

    I didn't know what the full model was dood! He never said and he did say that they WERE touch models. So anyways, he's the clown :D (Or at least more of a clown than me :p) They are in fact NOT touch... I will just send them back or get a huge refund for the cost of the touchscreens :)

    ~Rob - it's a very scary world out there :(~

    I know, I know ..........when they make the stylus holders the ones that they screw up when drilling the holes are ground down to what you got.

    Look carefully at the auction photos, it really is the standard non-touch handle. I'd never seen the touch style until the MK1 touch got here.

    ya i found that thread, i meant a thread similar to the cf 29 faq which tells about model #s, the hard drive swap, the cd drive swap pretty much all the information about 29s is in there

    but nothing for the 30 that i found
