The advent of digital formats in the field of publishing (books, newspapers, magazines, comic books), is slowly becoming increasingly popular among the people, so that more people now prefer to take advantage of these text-based content directly from your monitor desktop, laptop or otherwise, without having to print each time …

To achieve this, however, we need a couple of prerequisites:

1 – “The tools of the trade should be as manageable as possible, an objective that we believe enough already achieved, thanks to new models increasingly thin and light notebooks.

2 – A large monitor and main structure in the vertical direction, so as to facilitate reading.

On the latter point, without having to provide special devices such as the recent Amazon (Kindle 2), we can use the software Rotate Eee PC, designed just to read the text on the road. ”

Also because this product with Kindle, both for the high price of their characteristics, are aimed mostly at an audience of “niche”.

This software is designed for Asus Eee PC, but can still be used for laptops and desktops (although in the latter case, it seems of little use :-) ).

The program is also portable and does not require installation. Once started, it remains running in the background with a ‘visible icon in the system tray.

The use of the application is simple. It is in fact a combination of keys, summarized as follows:

* Ctrl + Alt + Up Arrow: Go back to home screen;

* Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow: Rotate the screen by 270 degrees;

* Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Down: rotate the screen 180 degrees;

* Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow: Rotate the screen 90 degrees.

Rotate Eee runs on systems running Windows XP SP3.

How to use a external monitor for your laptop

As we all know the laptop’s advantage compare to Desktop is light and portable. Mst laptop’s screen is between 12 – 17 inch. Generally the 17inch laptop is a little heavy (about 7 pounds), in the market 60% laptop are 15-16 inch wide screen. When we use our laptop to watch movie or play some 3D video game, the laptop small screen is the too small to work. So we use another 21-inch or bigger monitor as a external screen.

But how to use a external monitor for your laptop? The content below www.laptops-battery.co.uk take Dell Inspiron 1545 battery for example to introduce the detail step.

1. Buy a External monitor. You can buy a suitable size monitor for your need. Usually watch movie need 21-inch or more, playing Video game 19 inch screen is enough.

2.Buy a connect wire. Most laptops built today include an external monitor connection. Most are VGA, but some are starting to include DVI digital video connections instead. You just need to buy a VGA or DVI wire to connect the laptop to monitor.

3. Connect one end of the DVI or VGA cord to the DVI or VGA port of your laptop and the other end to the monitor. Your laptop (XPS M1210 battery) should automatically identify the external monitor as a new hardware device.

4. Active the external monitor. They are not enabled by default. You need to take action to send video out that port. Typically, and this varies from laptop to laptop, however is often either: Fn + F3, F4, F5, F8, or F9. The function key will often be labeled as CRT/LCD and/or have a picture of a monitor on the key or close to the key.

5. Close the laptop screen. Some laptops also have the ability to have the display on both the laptop and external display and/or one or the other at a single time. Laptops with this ability can switch between these modes by continuing to press the same function keys until in the mode the user wants. Dell Inspiron 6400 battery also is Fn + F7.

6. Set the new resolution or “size” pixels in laptop Display setting. As the likelihood of the LCD and the external monitor being the same resolution or “size” in pixels is very low. Unless the monitor is detected or setup in the operating system, it may not work properly or will only display at the default resolution. If you wish to change the external display’s resolution, make sure the monitor is detected by the operating system.

In the end I suggest you do not use your laptop battery when using external monitor. It may exhaust your laptop battery power in 1 hours or less.
