W500 Button Light for checking mail

#1 Post by synapse » Fri Oct 10, 2008 12:09 am

Does anyone know if the W500 has the ThinkVantage button light that you can customize to light up when new mail arrives?

Just curious.

Thanks!

No, the thinkvantage button has no LEDs under it, so you can't make it light up when you have mail.

Is there a model of thinkpad that does have something like this??
