How is the laptop configured?

Every year portable computers are becoming more popular, crowding traditional personalities. Consultants in computer equipment stores are well aware that customers are increasingly choosing compact laptops rather than full-fledged stationary computers. The reason for this is simple - the technical characteristics of the average portable silicon assistant are almost equal to them in stationary models. The only unpleasant moment is the limitation in the diagonal of the screen, which in notebooks rarely exceeds 19 inches. However, this is easily solved by buying a separate monitor for the house.

However, as always, such popularity has its negative manifestations. In particular, now in the service centers the notebook is often configured. This service is in demand, and supply and demand, as is known, are directly related. For example, the Internet shows over 27 thousand offers, where you can configure the laptop. An impressive amount!

Theoretically, the configuration of the laptop can be performed independently. Still, we should not forget that the difference between personal and laptop is more constructive, but not cardinal. The same basic functions of BIOS, similar in principle to the operation of hardware components, even the operating system is no different. Therefore, for example, a person who knows how to "lift" a wireless network on a personal computer, setting up a Wi-Fi on the laptop will seem just as simple.

One of the differences between portable and desktop systems is the Spartan simplicity of BIOS first. No overclocking of components, changes in timings of memory models, activation of blocked processor cores can not be found here (except for special models). Setting up the laptop starts with the BIOS. To enter the parameter selection screen, press F2 immediately after switching on. Depending on the model, here you can set the main bootable media, date / time, select the desired mode of operation of power saving functions. Sometimes the BIOS provides the ability to work with a battery.

The next step is to set the brightness of the screen for you. In laptops, you must press a certain combination of buttons. For example, Fn + arrow to the right. The exact values can be found in the instruction, and the prompts are also shown on the buttons.

The camera is configured on the laptop from the operating system. Before you begin to correct the image, you must install the device driver. It is recommended to do this even if the control program was found in the Windows driver library and was installed automatically. To solve this issue, you need a compact disc that goes with the laptop computer. If there are several drivers for webcams, then you need to install it for your model. It can be learned from the specification to the laptop. After installation, you can start Skype and adjust the display settings there (Tools - Settings menu).

We did not in vain indicate the similarity of personal computers and laptops: all recommendations for setting the first are almost entirely suitable for the second. Unless the operating mode of the energy management manager should be different. Setting allows you to optimize the system in accordance with the wishes of the owner.
