Screen Rotation / VGA-Out Button
The screen rotation feature would normally be used only when the system is configured as a tablet. When
you would like to use the tablet as an eBook, for example, you would use the portrait orientation; when
accessing spreadsheets or using the system as a notebook, you would more typically use landscape
orientation. When the system is changed to tablet configuration, the orientation automatically changes to
portrait mode by default.
