Microphone (Built-in)
The built-in mono microphone can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple
audio recordings.
Status Indicators (top)
Status indicators represent various hardware/software conditions. See indicator details in section 3.
Instant Keys
Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button.
Details are described in section 3.
Touchpad and Buttons
The touchpad with its buttons is a pointing device that provides the same functions as a desk-
top mouse. A software-controlled scrolling function is available after setting up the included
touchpad utility to allow easy Windows or web navigation.
Keyboard
The keyboard provides full-sized keys with comfortable travel (depth at which the keys
can be depressed) and palm rest for both hands. Two Windows function keys are provided
to help ease navigation in the Windows operating system.
Audio Speaker System
The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments.
The multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces
rich, vibrant sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio
features are software controlled.
Display Panel
The Notebook PC uses an active matrix TFT LCD, which provides excellent viewing like
that of desktop monitors. Unlike traditional desktop monitors, the LCD panel does not pro-
duce any radiation or flickering, so it is easier on the eyes. Use a soft cloth without chemical
liquids (use plain water if necessary) to clean the display panel.
Display Panel Reversible Latch
One reversible latch on the front of the Notebook PC locks the display panel in the closed position or in the
tablet PC mode. The reversible latch must be manually switched from one mode to the other.
Instant Keys (Tablet PC)
Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button. Details are
described in section 3.
Fingerprint Scanner (on selected models)
The built-in fingerprint scanner allows use of security software using your fingerprint as
your identification key.
