Quirks
- Have fun trying to power on the laptop when it has been powered off for a while. Try flicking the power switch 50 times in a row while applying pressure to the corner of the laptop and it might turn on. After that, though, it'll turn on and off no problem for a while.
- Unless you update to BIOS version A11, 1999-12-31 is a Friday, but 2000-01-01 is a Sunday. This means every date in this millennium has its day of the week advanced by one.
- The firmware setup interface can be entered at any time, even after the computer has booted.
- Sometimes, it's possible to see a stuck green pixel in the top left quadrant of the display.
- There is no Windows key on the keyboard.
- If a PS/2 mouse is connected, the trackball and integrated mouse buttons are always nonfunctional. This is in contrast to the CP series where the touchpad is usable after not using the PS/2 mouse for a few seconds.
