This Shuttle product features an integrated touchscreen display. The touchscreen is one of the easiest PC interfaces to use, making it the interface of choice for a wide variety of applications to improve human-computer interaction. It can help make any information more easily accessible by allowing users to navigate by simply touching the display screen. When used in conjunction with software such as on-screen keyboards, or other assistive technology, it can help make computing resources more available to both, experienced and novice users. A PC system with touchscreen can even do without a physical keyboard and mouse and all their wires.

This device features an audio amplifier and built-in stereo speakers. Thus, can enjoy your playlists, communication and YouTube videos without headsets or large external speakers.

This high quality 1.3M Pixel video web camera allows you to participate in web conferencing, record video to your computer, and take still images for easier web communications and increased work efficiency. Getting closer to your loved ones has never being so easy!

The built-in microphone can be easily used for voice-recording and VoIP (voice over the Internet) applications like live video chat and video-conferencing. However, a standalone microphone can be used, too.

These LED indicators are small lights that are used to display the status of the hard disk drive (HDD), power state (on/off/standby), voice volume and panel backlight brightness.

This video output is used to connect a analogue CRTs (cathode-ray tubes) display or a digital display with analogue input to the PC. It uses analogue RGB and synchronisation signals to bring up a picture on the display output. The connector is known as DB15 or 15-pin D-subminiature (D-Sub) where the ‘D’-shaped raised shield gives it it’s name.

The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the fan air vents, which prevents the computer from overheating. The cooling fan is temperature-controlled which means that the computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.

Cleverly, the stand can be pulled up to serve as a handle - easy to move and light to carry with one hand. The stand on the rear can easily be removed unveiling four VESA mounting screw holes that can be used for mounting arms and other mounting devices from a variety of manufacturers.

This is a small, metal-reinforced hole as part of an anti-theft system. The lock-and-cable apparatus is not included.

Press the power button to turn on the computer. To avoid losing data, turn off your computer by performing a soft shutdown by the operating system rather than by pressing the power button. If the computer stops responding, press and hold the power button until the computer turns off completely which may take several seconds. You can also use the power button to enter or resume from standby/suspend mode.

This port connect USB devices, such as a mouse, keyboard, printer or a mass storage device. The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a high-speed synchronous serial data interface allowing up to 127 peripherals to be simultaneously connected to a personal computer. USB supports "hot-swap" which is the ability to add or remove a new device without having to reboot the computer and "plug-and-play" operation, in which the host software automatically detects attached peripherals and loads the appropriate driver. USB 2.0 runs at up to 480 Mbit/s and is downward compatible with USB 1.1 which runs up to 12 Mbit/s.

The integrated multi-format 4-in-1 card reader supports the memory card types: SD, MMC, MS and MS-pro.

This 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) female connector in pink color can be used to attach a microphone. The connectors for microphone and headphone can be used for a head-set. To test a microphone you can use the Windows Sound Recorder application.

This 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) female stereo connector in lime color can be used to attach a headphone or headset with an impedance of at least 32 ohms. This connector can also be used as a line-out to connect amplified PC speakers.

This 1/8 inch (3.5 mm) female stereo connector in light-blue color can be used as an input to record/digitize analogue audio from external sources such as a CD/tape player, amplifier, television etc.

This RJ45 Ethernet port connects the PC directly to a central connecting device, be it hub, switch, or router. Hubs are the least expensive option and simply have multiple RJ45 ports to connect several computers. A switch works similar, but analyzes the data which results in a smoother and more efficient transfer of data. While hubs and switches connect devices to form a Local area network (LAN), routers are used to connect to another network, e.g. the Internet. The two lights next to the connector indicate status and activity for wired network connections. The integrated network controller supports at least Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbit/s) or even Gigabit Ethernet (GbE, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s).

This is the power jack for the DC voltage coming from an external, fanless power supply.

These are control buttons for the display, e.g. LCD backlight adjust or OSD settings (On Screen Display).
