puter's LCD panel and the external display device. See “Hot keys” on

addition, the USB ports can be used to connect many other peripheral
devices, such as digital cameras, printers and scanners. See “Expansion
devices” on page 45 for more information on connecting USB devices.
External keyboard
Your computer features a full-size keyboard. However, if you prefer,
you can connect an external keyboard to one of your computer's USB
ports. This enables you to enjoy the comfort and added features of a
full-size desktop system keyboard when entering data on your note-
book computer.
External keypad
Your computer features an embedded keypad that, when combined
with the Num Lock feature, enables you to easily input numeric data.
Alternatively, you can connect a 17-key numeric keypad to one of your
computer's USB ports. This enables you to enjoy the benefits of a
numeric keypad without interfering with your use of the computer's
keyboard for typing text.
External pointing device
Your computer features a sensitive touchpad pointing device with two
click buttons and a scroll key. However, if you prefer to use a conven-
tional mouse or other pointing device, you can connect it to one of
your computer's USB ports.
