Where to Go from Here

You can probably start using your OmniBook immediately, especially if you’re familiar with personal computers, or if you’ve already worked with Microsoft Windows. Still, your OmniBook is designed as a compact, mobile computer—so it has a few useful features that you don’t normally find on a desktop PC. Take a few minutes to explore them.
