| Journal.

| Apple's iPad tablet computer, because it is a

| Three hotkeys are fitted on the chassis, just
| above the keyboard. The Assist button helps
| you diagnose and solve any issues you may
| have with the laptop, while the Web button
| lets you boot up a secondary, Linux-based
| operating system for browsing the web without
| starting up Windows 7.

Sony Vaio E series: PC with a panic button Sony Vaio E series: PC with a panic button

,----[ Quote ]
| Shut the Vaio E down, and the Web button fires
| up a browser without booting into Windows
| proper. Sony says this minimalist browser,
| which runs on top of Linux, wonât let you save
| data, but will eke out the Vaio E seriesâ
| battery up to three times longer than using
| Windows to hop online.
