Q: How do I convert the display from notebook mode to tablet mode on the Gateway convertible notebook?

A: You can convert the display from notebook to tablet mode with the convertible notebook turned on or off.

Note: Although you can use the pen to write on the screen when the convertible notebook is in notebook mode, for best results and maximum stability, only write on the screen while the notebook is in tablet mode.
