Chapter 1. Product overview

Thank you for selecting an IBM NetVista X computer. Your computer incorporates
many of the latest advances in computer technology. This chapter provides an
overview of the computer, features, and preinstalled software.

Identifying your computer

In most instances, the best way to identify your computer is by the machine
type/model number. The machine type/model number indicates the various
features of the computer, such as the type of microprocessor and the number of
bays. You can find this number on the small label on the right side of your
computer. An example of a machine type/model number is 6274-xxx.
