Knowing the Parts 2

1 Camera (on selected models)

The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with video conferencing and other interactive applications.

2 Display Panel

The display panel functions the same as a desktop monitor. The Notebook PC uses an active matrix TFT LCD, which provides excellent viewing like that of desktop monitors. Unlike desktop monitors, the LCD panel does not produce any radiation or flickering, so it is easier on the eyes. Use a soft cloth without chemical liquids (use plain water if necessary) to clean the display panel.
