Precautions for Operating System Support

If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of an OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied.

Performance Restrictions

Online games and some games(3D, 2D) may not be supported and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may be slow and stutter on this computer.

About the Product Capacity Representation

Standard

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in the Chrome OS is less than the actual capacity of memory.

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1 GB(=1,024 MB) memory installed, OS(Windows, Chrome, etc.) may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less)
