Additional AC adaptor
If you frequently transport the computer between different sites such as
your home and office, purchasing an AC adaptor for each location will
reduce the weight and bulk of your carrying load.

without requiring the use of your computer. The battery charger holds up to
two lithium ion battery packs.

When you turn on the power, the Windows Bootup screen (Windows Logo)

To change the display settings, press Fn+F5. If you disconnect the monitor
before you turn the computer off, be sure to press Fn+F5 to switch to the
