Features This computer was designed with the user in mind. Here are just a few of its many features: Performance Intel Pentium® III 450/500 processor with integrated L2 cache memory 64-bit main memory Large and vibrant Thin-Film-Transistor (TFT) SVGA Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) 64-bit graphics acceleration with 2.5MB graphics memory and Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) High-capacity, Enhanced-IDE removable hard disk External EasyLinkTM Combo Drive (floppy drive + CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive “combo”) Lithium-Ion battery pack Power management system with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) or APM (Advanced Power Management) support Display The large graphics display offers excellent viewing, display quality and desktop performance graphics. The computer supports a Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) liquid crystal display (LCD) displaying 32-bit true-color at 800x600 Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA) resolution. Video Performance PCI local bus video with 64-bit graphics acceleration and 2.5MB high-speed Synchronous Graphics Random Access Memory (SGRAM) boost video performance. The video also includes 3D capabilities such as Goraud shading, and Z-buffering, as well as DVD playback support. Simultaneous Display The computer’s large display and multimedia capabilities are great for giving presentations. If you prefer, you can also connect an external monitor when giving presentations. This computer supports simultaneous LCD and CRT display. Simultaneous display allows you to control the presentation from your computer and at the same time face your audience. You can also connect other output display devices such as LCD projection panels for large-audience presentations. Power Management The power management system incorporates an "automatic LCD dim" feature that automatically decides the best settings for your display and at the same time conserves power. See “” on page 24 for more information on power management features. Dualview The computer’s video chip takes advantage of Windows 98 multi-display capability, allowing you to extend your desktop to an external display device, such as an external monitor or projector. With this feature enabled, you can move program windows to and from the computer LCD and external display device. Opening and Closing the Display To open the display, slide the display cover latch to the left and lift up the cover. Then tilt it to a comfortable viewing position. The computer employs a microswitch that turns off the display (and enters Standby mode) to conserve power when you close the display cover, and turns it back on when you open the display cover. NOTE: If an external monitor is connected, the computer turns off the display (but does not enter standby mode) when you close the display cover. To close the display cover, fold it down gently until the display cover latch clicks into place. WARNING:To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it when you close it. Also, do not place any object on top of the computer when the display is closed.
