About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
About the capacity representation of the storage
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the dierence in capacity calculation. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,0 00x1,00 0x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
About Memory Capacity Representation
The memory capacity reported in Windows 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 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less)

LCD bad pixels principle of computer•
Samsung observes the specications regarding strict
quality and reliability of LCD. But in spite of that, it is inevitable that there might be a small number of bad pixels. A large number of bad pixels can cause problems in appearance, but a small number of pixels doesn’t aect the computer performance.
Therefore Samsung observes and manages the following
dot principles:
- Bright dot : 2 or less
- Black dot : 4 or less
- Combination of Bright and Dark : 4 or less
To maintain the LCD brightness set by using the brightness

Battery Usage Time Information
A battery is an expendable supply, so when using it over a long time, the capacity/battery life is shortened. If the battery life is reduced to under half of its initial time, we recommend purchasing a new battery.
When not using the battery for a long time, store the battery after charging it to 30-40% of its capacity. This extends the battery life time.

The capacity representation of the hard disk drive(HDD)
What is a Recovery Area?
Samsung computers have an additional partition to recover • computers or save backup les. (Only for models with the Samsung Recovery Solution.)
This partition is called a Recovery Area and it includes a recovery
image that comprises of the OS and application programs.
You can either double-click the Samsung Recovery Solution • icon on the desktop or press to enter the Recovery Area. Then you can back up the present
computer state or recover the computer from backed up images.
For deleting the Recovery Area, you need to use an additional • Recovery Area Removal Tool. After deleting the recovery area, you can use the newly created partition for other uses, such as for saving personal data. Be careful that once the recovery area is deleted, the Samsung Recovery Solutions will not work anymore.
while booting the computer
in Windows is dierent from the product specications.
The capacity of the storage device (HDD) of the manufacturer is • calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes. However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity.
This is due to the dierence in capacity calculation and does
not mean the installed HDD is dierent from the product specications.
The capacity representation in Windows may be smaller than the • actual capacity because some programs occupy a certain area of the HDD outside of Windows.
For models with Samsung Recovery Solution, the HDD capacity • representation in Windows may be smaller than the actual capacity because Samsung Recovery Solution uses a hidden area of about 5~20GB of the HDD to save the recovery image, and that hidden area is not counted towards the total size available to Windows.
The size of Samsung Recovery Solution varies by models because
of the dierent size of applied programs.

Q&A
What is the Intel Rapid Start technology?
Q
The Intel Rapid Start technology allows you to create a disk
A
partition in max power saving mode so that the system boots up faster, which decreases the wakeup time from max power saving mode.
In the Easy Settings, go to General > Intel Rapid Start and select On. It will be active immediately after you press the Power button while the system is in max power saving mode.
However, you cannot add a disk partition for SSD models with integrated Intel Rapid Start technology.
