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 digital 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.
