Hey everybody this is Kelene today I have the Gateway M285-E tablet computer. This time the computer comes fully with the flip screen here it rotates 180 degrees around lays flat so you can write on it flat like that or you can also write on it when it's in any other position. On the sides here we have a modem port a big fan a little fan there to keep your computer nice and cool and CD player which by pushing this little button right down here by the serial tag you can pop that out and there you have your CD player. You can replace it with a DVD burner CD burner whatever you'd like to pop that right back in slide it and it locks into place so it won't fall out later. It also on the front here has two speakers one there and one there and right there it locks in 2 ports there which is your headphone input now put ports in our microphone. On the side here we have your battery port and to the battery bay ports so you can put your computer into bay which expands your USB ports or hooks up a regular mouse and keyboard too whatever you'd like to do. It also has VGA port internet 3 USBs and on this very end here is this massive expansion bay if you wanna put in your network card in there or memory card whatever you'd like to play is in there. This computer also has wireless internet and you can turn that on and off by simply pushing function up to on the keyboard tapping that and it comes with a nice little indicator lights. That one there I'm pointing to is your wireless light and that's your running light over there as well with your power light on the edge. Right on those lights are buttons. This button here takes your screen you can fully rotate that around like that and that's great because when you turn your computer like this you can rotate it around twice and right on it once it's like this and use the battery itself to keep your computer at an angle for it's easier to write on. It also pops this up by pushing this button here on the end there you go and you're ready to write with one note journal any max up program that does in kind notations notes with pencils or anything you'd like that is I mean it's great tool educational tool for taking notes I use in class all the time. You can take this fold that back around there and I'll show you the other buttons here rotate the screen back also got a nice cute symbol which is your lock button right there next to the rotate screen button and another functional button that I use a lot is your customized button. Usually it's set to open journal but I have it set that when I push that it opens Microsoft window so I can take my notes right there very easily that even having to go to any programs. There's also this other little button here that brings up a menu in this far corner here and that is used with a directional pad and the directional pads when you have your screen lined down you can change your volume your brightness your contrast all that mute or sound turn it back on right from the top of the screen you see there's no need to flip it around. It's very functional computer I like it a lot it works great for school so if you're on the market looking for a new computer buy I highly recommend that Gateway M285-E tablet computer.
