Hi Annabel,
The reason for controlling the speed is battery preservation. If you
want
to just read a book, or do something that is not very
processor-intensive,
then just slow down your clock speed and you get more battery life. That
is
why it is controllable.
All the best
Steve

Hi Caroline, I can answer your first question re the NC10 but do not
know
the answer to the second one.
Someone very kindly sent me this information a day or two ago and I found
it
most useful, see below:
fn and f1 seems to bring up a help function, from what I can gather.
fn and f2 bring up the battery manager apparently.
fn and f3 inserts a euro sign at the typing cursor.
fn and f4 toggle between internal and external screens, if you have
one connected.
fn and f5 shuts off the lcd backlighting.
Fn and f6 mutes volume.
fn and f7 is something called the Samsung Magic Doctor, which
apparently diagnoses your systems problems, if it has any.
fn and f8 is apparently a speedstep function - it controls the speed
of the processor / system from what I've read, though why that should
be user controllable is beyond me. The symbol on the key is a little
running
person or
something ? You get three choices - silent (for moments when you want
it to run,er, quiet !), normal (it controls itself according to what
it's doing) or speed (which is running flat out from what I gather).
fn and f9 turns wi-fi on and off.
f10 toggles the touch pad on and off..
fn and f11 is the number lock.
From what I can gather f12 is scroll lock (though I confess I've
never used scroll lock so I don't know what it does !)
Hope that helps. Annabell.

Does anyone have a list of all the FN key combinations on the NC10? I
have been unable to find one and don't want to experiment too much in
case
I turn off something important, especially as it isn't my machine!
Also, if we use an external USB keyboard to access the NC10, is there
any
key combination which would emulate the FN key, or would I have to go
back
to the NC10's keyboard if I wanted to do anything which required the use
of the FN key?
Thanks,
Caroline.

I hit a key stroke combination accidkentally a year ago in an Open
University exam and my computer started talking to me in Italian.
fortunately after some time I worked out how to change this back.

Just out of interest, I just hit the key stroke Fn and F3, and it
launched Internet Explorer on this HP laptop! Turning the touchpad off
clearly is a different keystroke, and must vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer -

Hi John,
The only down side to this is that it turns off the left/right
buttons
as
well as the touch pad. A quick Fn+F3 turns it back on though if you
need
them. It also doesn't remember the setting between boots.
All the best
Steve
