Video performance 4X AGP UMA video graphic accelerator with 64MB shared from system memory with Intel SiS645DX to boost the video performance. 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 has built-in AGP and VGA display system to support 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 dims the LCD when the computer is powered by a battery pack to conserve battery power. See “Power Management” on page 30 for more information on power management features. Opening and closing the display To open the display, slide the display cover latch to the right 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. 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.
