Using your VAIO computer
Using the keyboard
Your keyboard is very similar to a desktop computer's, but has additional keys that perform model-specific tasks.
For more information on the standard keys, see Windows Help and Support Center.
The VAIO-Link website (www.vaio-link.com
) also contains glossary information to help you use the keyboard.
