Another important feature is the high-performance graphics display. This
notebook supports a large DualScan STN color or TFT color LCD, offering
excellent display quality and brilliant colors. This notebook can also
accommodate an external ultra-VGA monitor. This feature allows you to
perform simultaneous operation of your LCD and the external VGA monitor,
an advantage for giving presentations. Simultaneous display allows you to
control the presentation from the LCD and at the same time face your
audience. You can even connect an LCD projection panel for large-
audience presentations. PCI-bus video with graphics accelerator and 1MB
video RAM provide faster video performance.

Advanced power management features such as automatic LCD and hard
disk power-down, system standby and suspend modes enable this notebook
to conserve battery power. The notebook houses up to two battery packs for
longer battery operation. Battery packs supported are nickel metal-hydride
(NiMH) and state-of-the-art lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries. The system has
both visible and audible battery-low warning features that remind you to
recharge your battery.

Special features include a serial infrared (SIR) port which allows wireless
communication with other SIR-”aware” systems. Onboard 16-bit stereo
audio capability plus the optional CD-ROM module gives you true
“multimedia-on-the-go”. You can also plug in a PCMCIA SCSI card
connected to an external CD-ROM drive, or “park” the system to the optional
docking station with a CD-ROM drive and multimedia comes alive on your
notebook.

The system also supports a local-bus architecture. A local bus is the
interface around the CPU. The major purpose of local bus is to enhance
CPU data transfer throughput, as well as to provide a solution for I/O
bottlenecks caused by running on old 16-bit ISA bus architecture.
