Using the display
Your convertible notebook’s screen combines the eye-soothing readability of a
liquid-crystal display with the responsiveness of a pen controller. The screen
provides a hard, smooth writing surface, minimizes glare, and increases
readability.
■ Unlike other touchscreens and PDAs, your convertible notebook’s display
responds only to your convertible notebook’s pen. Your convertible
notebook will not respond to a PDA stylus or the touch of a fingertip.
■ Steady your hand on the display surface while writing. The pressure of
your hand or fingers will not affect any open programs.
■ Switching from AC to battery power dims the display slightly to save
battery power.
