Refreshing your software content with Intel Smart Connect Technology (select

models only)

When the computer is in the Sleep state, Intel® Smart Connect Technology periodically causes the

computer to exit Sleep. If a network connection is available, Smart Connect updates open apps such

as your email inboxes, social network sites, and news pages and then returns the computer to the

Sleep state. Smart Connect also syncs content that you have created offline, such as emails. When

the computer exits Sleep, you have immediate access to your updated information.

To enable this feature or manually adjust the settings, select Start > All Programs > Intel > Intel®

Smart Connect Technology.

To reveal the Intel Smart Connect Technology icon, hover over the icons in the notification area, at

the far right of the taskbar, and then click the icon.
