About your computer

Power adapter

Power adapters are used to supply power to portable computers, tablets and certain desktop computers. The Dell power-adapter kit consists of the power adapter and the power cable. The power-adapter rating (65W, 90W, and soon) depends on the device it is designed for, and the power cable varies based on the country where the power adapter is shipped.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging your computer, it is recommended touse only the power adapter that shipped with your device or aDell‑approved replacement power adapter.
Power adapter 19

Battery

Batteries are mainly classified by their power ratings, such as 45WHr, 65WHr, and soon. The battery allows you to use your device when it is not connected to a power outlet.
The life cycle of the battery is the number of time it can be discharged and recharged without affecting the operating time significantly. After the battery life-cycle reaches its end, you must replace the battery.
Depending on the computer model, the battery on your computer may be user replaceable or may require a Dell service technician to replace.
NOTE: High-capacity batteries generally have a longer life-cycle, since you need to charge high-capacity batteries less often compared to lowcapacity batteries.
NOTE: For tips on improving the battery life, see “Improving battery life”.
Coin‑cell battery
Coin-cell battery provides power to the Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) chip while the computer is turned off. The CMOS chip contains the time, date, and other configuration information about your computer.
Under normal usage conditions, the coin-cell battery can last for several years. The factors that affect coin-cell battery life are type of system board, temperature, the time for which the computer is powered off, and soon.

Touch pad

A touch pad is available on most laptops and provides the functionality of amouse. It has a touch-sensitive surface that senses the motion and position of your fingers. You can use the touch pad to move the cursor, drag or move selected items, and click by tapping the surface. Gesture-enabled touch pads support gestures such as zoom, pinch, rotate, scroll, andso on. You can also purchase external touch pads. A precision touch pad is a new class of input device that provides high precision pointer input and gesture functionality. Precision touch pads interact with the operating system directly without the need for a driver.
NOTE: For information on using the touch pad, see “Using your touch
pad”.

Display

Displays are classified based on their screen size, resolution, color gamut, and so on. Generally, a screen with higher resolution and better color support provides better image quality. Some external displays also have USBports, media-card readers, and so on.
Displays may also support features such as, touch screen, 3D, andwirelessconnection.
Touch screen
Touch screen is a display device that lets you interact with the objects on the screen by touching the display instead of using a mouse, touch pad, or a keyboard. You can operate a touch screen with a finger, or another passive object, such as a stylus. Touch screens are commonly used in phones, tablets, computers, and so on. Commonly used touch screen technologies are capacitive touch and resistive touch.
NOTE: Touch screen may not be supported on all computers. NOTE: For information on using the touch screen, see “Using your touch
screen”.
3D
3D-capable displays can display 3D images and videos. 3D works by presenting separate 2D images to the left and right eye. These images are then combined and interpreted by the brain as one image with depth.
NOTE: You may need specially designed 3D glasses to be able to view 3D images.
Touch pad 21

Camera

Webcam
