    Hello all.

    I'm new here (although I've been a long time browser).

    I have a couple of questions that have been bothering me greatly. In a nutshell, is there ANY way for me to use the m11x without opening the display?

    I'm asking this because I want to use this as a desktop replacement/ HTPC. I want to be able to remotely (or even by wireless/bluetooth) turn on and off the machine without having to open the notebook. (either using my iphone, wireless keyboard/mouse etc.)

    I've read the online manual (specifically the bios section), and the only option that I see is "USB on wake". Problem is, I want to be able to "wake" the m11x from being completely turned off (AC power still plugged in though), and not just wake from sleep/standby.

    If anyone has any answers for me I would most definitely appreciate it.

    Thanks :)
