Hello! I would like to make a product copyline but I can't seem to know if my English expression is correct or not.

The main feature of this product(laptop) is that it has a beveled side meaning it has a tilted side.
And on this side, there are many lights so we can check the laptop's state like heat level, whether USB is connected, or power is on etc.

So I would like to say "the PC state is easily visible since it is kept in(within) sight"(I want to put a stress on the fact the side is tilted so it's not covered by other objects easily)

Is it just okay to say "It's not covered by other objects easily and it is in sight"? Or is there a better way to put the same information?

Thank you for your opinion in advance.
 
Hello! I would like to make a product copyline but don't know if my English expression is correct [STRIKE]or not[/STRIKE].

The main feature of this product [space] (a laptop) is that it has a beveled side, meaning it has a tilted side.

And on this side, there are many lights so users can check the laptop's state, like heat level, whether a USB is connected, or whether the power is on [STRIKE]etc[/STRIKE].

So I would like to say, "The PC state is easily visible since it is kept in [space] (within) sight." [space] (I want to stress the fact that the side is tilted so it's not covered by other objects easily.)

That's redundant. If it's visible, it's in sight.


Is it just okay to say "It's not covered by other objects easily, and it is in sight"?

I don't get it. Why would a bevel make anything more visible? What would stop objects from blocking the status bar?

And why would it matter?


Or is there a better way to put the same information?

Thank you for your opinion in advance.
I can't picture it.

Could you say there's an easy-to-read status panel on its front edge?
 
I think the bevel edge of the laptop enables the status indicator lights on it to be visible from the side even if the laptop is sandwiched between other objects.

Thank you for your correction. I didn't know my grammatical errors:)

I think your logic is right. Maybe I just tried to fit my vague idea into product feature in a forced way.
(So I was only thinking about the old stove which has a vertical control panel which is quite hard to look at unless you lower your body if there's an indicator
but maybe my idea is too artificial to fit my story)

Thank you so much:)
 
Yeah that's what I meant by beveled edge feature :)
But I think it's too artificially pushed concept for my product feature
