2 Knowing the Parts 1 Camera (on selected models) The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with video conferencing and other interactive applications. 2 Array Microphone (on selected models) The built-in array microphone is more clear and echo-free compared with traditional single microphones and can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, audio recordings, and multimedia applications. 3 Display Panel The display panel functions the same as a desktop monitor.
