Remote controls for the m15x
So when I purchased my m15x, I was intrigued by the idea of an express card remote control for my computer. I saw it available on the order page, but decided against it. I called AW, but they didn't know what brand it was. It took me the longest time to figure out what the express card remote was, but I finally figured it out.
Interlink Electronics VP6600 ExpressCard Media Remote for Bluetooth http://www.amazon.com/Interlink-Elec...9362774&sr=8-8 While searching, I found something else... MoGo Media Mouse X54 for ExpressCard/54 Laptops http://www.amazon.com/Media-Mouse-Ex...9362959&sr=1-4 Comparison: Interlink - Bluetooth Stores and charges in 54mm express card slot Extends about 1/4 inch from the case while in the express card slot It contains the following buttons: Volume up Volume down Volume mute Next Previous Play/Pause Stop Scan Forward Scan Backwards Back Page up Page down Up arrow Down arrow Left arrow Right arrow OK (enter) Mogo - Bluetooth Stores and charges in 54mm express card slot Roughly twice the cost of the Interlink remote Acts as a laser mouse Lighter than the Interlink remote Fits nearly flush with the case while in the express card slot It contains the following buttons: Volume up Volume down Volume mute Next Previous Play/Pause (Thus, it lacks DVD controls) I like the mogo much better, but of course you get what you pay for. It's a slightly worse remote as it lacks buttons and there isn't a physical separation between the play/pause button, volume up/down, and mute, so you can't really use it without looking at it. However, it can also be a mouse and it doesn't stick out an absurd amount from the m15x case, thus is easier to travel around with. One word of advice... the express card and multi-card slot in the m15x are directly above the Nvidia graphics card (of any flavor). If you're gaming, take out any express card or memory card in those slots if you'd like to use them again. Of course, when you're using integrated graphics, that portion of the laptop is basically heat-free.
