Productivity and Communication

You can use your computer to create presentations, brochures, greeting cards, fliers, and spreadsheets. You can also edit and view digital photographs and images. Check your purchase order for software installed on your computer.

After connecting to the Internet, you can access websites, setup an e-mail account, upload and download files, and so on.

Entertainment and Multimedia

You can use your computer to watch videos, play games, create your own CDs, listen to music and radio stations. Your optical disc drive may support multiple disc media formats including CDs, Blu-ray Discs (if the option is selected at the time of purchase), and DVDs.

You can download or copy pictures and video files from portable devices, such as digital cameras and cell phones. Optional software applications enable you to organize and create music and video files that can be recorded to a disc, saved on portable products such as MP3 players and handheld entertainment devices, or played and viewed directly on connected TVs, projectors, and home theater equipment.
