XGA vs. SVGA Display
Your GoBook II computer has either an XGA (standard) or SVGA (optional) display.
XGA Display: The XGA display is a transmissive color display designed to minimize glare and maximize transmitted light from the
backlight so it has excellent readability in indirect light. The XGA display is the most popular display because it is easy to read indoors and in
vehicles.
SVGA Display: The optional SVGA display is a transflective color display designed for frequent outdoor use with superior readability in
direct sunlight. It also includes a backlight to improve visibility in low light conditions such as shade, in a vehicle or indoors.

Your computer comes with several components for reading and writing (recording) information.
The Hard Disk Drive
