run once again for you to input the appropriate operating environment settings. (The processing
speed depends on the application software used, so this operation may not cause the processing
speed to increase.)
You can set the date and time through [Date/Time] in [Start] - [Settings] - [Control Panel].

the AC adapter, set the power-saving function, and turn down the brightness of the display to
reduce the load on the battery.

pack and disconnect the AC adapter, then connect them again.
