There are several issues with this laptop. The outer screen is one. Others are:
The right-click button does not work on the touch pad, so I use a wireless mouse as a work around. The mini-vga port does not work fully with an HP 23" IPS LED screeen. No work around yet. I`ll try the mini HDMI port when I get the right cable. You can boot in touch with the lid closed but there is no touch keyboard to enter your password. Does the stylus work? Don`t know yet. The screen toggle key does not work. However, Both sets of volume keys work as does the mute key. The wireless toggle key works. The brightness keys work. The snooze key works. The screen hide key works. Should I post each of these as a bug?
