    Not sure if this is over here...but I can't seem to press the battery meter on the battery pack to see how many bars it still has left. No matter how i press, it just doesn't give in. Anyone knows?

    Hm? I though m14x didn't have this function... You are talking about the battery bar in under the laptop like in the m11x?

    You want to give it a good firm press just about the j shaped gap and just slightly above the battery logo. (I also had this problem, but eventually press the right spot lol)

    Yes it has, but is not as nice as the M11 the last one has a rubber tape the m14 has nothing but holes under need and you have to press on those holes to get to see the battery meter
