    Is there any kind of user's manual or documentation for the XPS 16, beyond what is shipped with the laptop? For example, I think I read the brightness of the keyboard backlight can be adjusted, but I'm not sure how. I'm just wondering if there is a user manual on the machine or online that describes this and other things that are covered within software help guides.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for the response and link. Regarding the FN + right arrow, do you know if there is documentation that shows this, or is this supposed to be intuitive? I guess I'm kind of wondering what else I might be missing out on.

    Thanks again.

    Take a look at the right arrow and you'll see an icon. Other keys, such as the up and down arrows, have icons as well.

    Just use the Fn button and start experimenting!

    Thanks--I'll try it out. I was just hoping there'd be some detailed written explanations of other capabilities (without having to do web searches or hitting kind people up like yourself for solutions).

    Thanks again.

    That is rep begging?

    He is a new user to the forum and I was merely letting him know..... geez.

    As David stated above, asking for rep is not allowed.

    Gotta side with sleey0 on this. I am new to the forum, and it was a pretty passive comment. What's next...no soup for you! I joke :).
