    I recently got my m11x and went through the installed programs list to remove all the crap that comes pre-loaded with the machine, and I noticed a driver for an Accelerometer. Does anyone have any idea what this is for? I'm clueless. :confused: 43209424329.png

    It's the free-fall sensor for your hard-disk :) I'm sorry if it's not as exciting as you might have hoped ;)
