External display devices

You can connect an external (VGA) monitor or projector to your com- puter's external display port. See the section entitled "Display" for information on using the computer's simultaneous display and multi- display features.

Use the Fn + F5 hot key to toggle the display setting between the com- puter's LCD panel and the external display device. See “Hot keys” on page 16 for more information.

External input devices

You can connect a variety of input devices to your computer's USB ports, providing increased functionality and greater ease-of-use. In addition, the USB ports can be used to connect many other peripheral devices, such as digital cameras, printers and scanners. See “Expansion devices” on page 47 for more information on connecting USB devices.

External keyboard

Your computer features a full-size keyboard. However, if you prefer, you can connect an external keyboard to one of your computer's USB ports. This enables you to enjoy the comfort and added features of a full-size desktop system keyboard when inputting typed data on your notebook computer.

External keypad

Your computer features an embedded keypad that, when combined with the Num Lock feature, enables you to easily input typed numeric data. Alternatively, you can connect a 17-key numeric keypad to one of your computer's USB ports. This enables you to enjoy the benefits of a numeric keypad without interfering with your use of the computer's keyboard for typing text.

External pointing device

Your computer features a sensitive touchpad pointing device with two click buttons and a scroll key. However, if you prefer to use a conven- tional mouse or other pointing device, you can connect it to one of your computer's USB ports.
