With the built-in PC camera you'll be able to do video conferencing right on your notebook. Whether you need to take pictures of yourself and the surroundings to quickly email them back to your loved ones or to the office from a hotspot using the integrated wireless LAN, or you're planning to do conference calling, it definitely comes in handy. And ladies, you can even apply makeup using the PC camera as if it were a mirror or see what your child or partner is doing behind your back while you are busy working on your DVI (Digital Video Interface) is a specification created by the Digital Display Working Group (DDWG) to accommodate analog and digital monitors with a single connector. There are three different DVI configurations:
DVI-A, designed for analog signals, DVI-D, designed for digital signals, and DVI-I (integrated), designed for both analog and digital signals.
Using a DVI connector and port, a digital signal that is sent to an analog monitor is converted into an analog signal. If the monitor is a digital monitor, such as a flat panel display, no conversion is necessary. Many monitors now include a DVI connection and many video adapters include a DVI port along with, or instead of, the traditional 15-pin Video Graphics Array (VGA) portlaptop

802.11 -- applies to wireless LANs and provides 1 or 2 Mbps transmission in the 2.4 GHz band using either frequency hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) or direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS).
802.11a -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANs and provides up to 54 Mbps in the 5GHz band. 802.11a uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing encoding scheme rather than FHSS or DSSS.
802.11b (also referred to as 802.11 High Rate or Wi-Fi) -- an extension to 802.11 that applies to wireless LANS and provides 11 Mbps transmission (with a fallback to 5.5, 2 and 1 Mbps) in the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b uses only DSSS. 802.11b was a 1999 ratification to the original 802.11 standard, allowing wireless functionality comparable to Ethernet.

Many of latest applications require the transmission of large files over the network. Scientific applications demand ultra-high bandwidth networks to communicate 3-D visualizations of complex objects ranging from molecules to aircraft. Magazines, brochures and other complex, full-color publications prepared on notebook computers are transmitted directly to digital-input printing facilities. Many medical facilities are transmitting complex images over LAN and WAN links, enabling the sharing of expensive equipment and specialized medical expertise. Engineers are using electronic and mechanical design automation tools to work interactively in distributed development teams, sharing files in the hundreds of gigabytes.
Many companies are now employing Internet technologies to build private intranets, enabling users in an organization to go beyond electronic mail and access critical data through familiar Web browsers, opening the door to a new generation of multimedia client/server applications. While intranet traffic is currently composed primarily of text, graphics and images, this is expected to expand in the near future to include more bandwidth-intensive audio, video and voice.
Modern organizations depend upon their local-area networks (LANs) to provide connectivity for a growing number of complex, mission-critical desktop computing applications. As the volume of network traffic increases, however, the bandwidth offered by a typical 10/100 Mbps Ethernet LAN quickly becomes inadequate to maintain acceptable performance for a growing number of notebook/desktop/server computing environments. These traffic jams are fueling the need for higher-speed networks. Among the high-speed LAN technologies available today 1 Gigabit Ethernet has become the leading choice. Gigabit Ethernet provides 1 Gbps bandwidth for networks with the simplicity of Ethernet at lower cost than other technologies of comparable speed.

When the laptop is intended for use while traveling, a carrying case is needed to protect and transport the main unit and all of its accessories. It is also advisable to invest in a security cable for attaching your laptop to an item of furniture or other solidly grounded structure to minimize the risk of theft. Obviously you would not want to lose your beloved laptop to an opportunistic thief, who will not only be able to use the computer itself, but will also have access to its stored data, possibly leading to additional unfavorable consequences for you later.
Buying a laptop is an important investment, so it is essential to prevent risks related to a malfunction in acquiring a guarantee whenever possible. The guarantee is especially important on a laptop where it is not possible to swap components such as graphics cards or sound cards. Most companies will offer some type of guarantee that will last for a few months to a year, but it may be wise to take an extended warranty that lasts for a few years to cover the maximum risk. Be sure to ask about the type of damage covered by warranty. The batteries are rarely covered.Some laptops are provided with a docking station (also called a dock station or port replicator). It is a receptacle that accommodates the laptop to connect easily to a keyboard, mouse, monitor, or other peripheral device.
- Operating temperature: The functioning of the various elements of the laptop (including the processor) can cause an increase in temperature of the laptop, which can sometimes be annoying, especially when the temperature becomes too high for the keyboard. There may be a danger due to overheating, particularly accentuated when the laptop works with the screen closed, because this can prevent proper heat dissipation.
- Noise: In order to dissipate heat due to the operation of the various elements of the laptop, they are sometimes equipped with cooling devices such as fans, which can create significant discomfort to one’s hearing. The same goes for the engines of rotating hard drives or CD/DVD drives. It is therefore necessary to learn about the noise level of the computer when it is actually running.
