information, which is subject to change without notice.

Central Processing Unit (“CPU” Performance Disclaimer:
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from
specifications under the following conditions:

• use of certain external peripheral products

• use of battery power instead of AC power

• use of certain multimedia games or videos with special

CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design

effects

• use of standard telephone lines or low speed network

connections

• use of complex modeling software, such as high end

computer aided design applications

• use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high

altitude >1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)

• use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C

to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) or > 25°C (77°F) at high altitude
(all temperature references are approximate).

P300-SE3

Toshiba recommends Windows Vista™ Home Premium

configuration. Under some conditions, your computer product may
automatically shutdown. This is a normal protective feature designed to
reduce the risk of lost data or damage to the product when used outside
recommended conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back­up copies of data by periodically storing it on an external storage
medium. For optimum performance, use your computer product only
under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under
“Environmental Conditions” in your product Resource Guide. Contact
Toshiba Technical Support for more information.
Hard Disk Drive Disclaimer: 1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1,000,000,000
bytes using powers of 10. The computer operating system, however,
reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB =
1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity. Available
storage capacity will also be less if the product includes pre-installed
operating system and/or application software. Actual formatted capacity
may vary.
GPU: Graphics processor unit ("GPU") performance may vary depending
on product model, design configuration, applications, power management
settings and features utilized. GPU performance is only optimized when
operating in AC power mode and may decrease considerably when
operating in battery power mode.
Memory: Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics
system for graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main
system memory available for other computing activities. The amount of
main system memory allocated to support graphics may vary depending
on the graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size and
other factors. For PC's configured with 4 GB of system memory, the full
system memory space for computing activities will be considerably less
and will vary by model and system configuration.
TFT Display Disclaimer: Small bright dots may appear on your TFT
display when you turn on your PC. Your display contains an extremely
large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using
high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your
display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT manufacturing
technology.
LCD: Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer,
the brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic
characteristic of LCD technology. Maximum brightness is only available
when operating in AC power mode. Screen will dim when the computer
is operated on battery power and you may not be able to increase the
brightness of the screen.

Weight: Weight may vary depending on actual configuration.
Battery: Battery life may vary considerably depending on product model,

configuration, applications, power management settings and features
utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the
design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are
achieved on select models and configurations tested by Toshiba at the
time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery
may not charge while computer is consuming full power. After a period
of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity
and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries. To purchase
a new battery pack, see the accessories information that shipped with
your computer or visit the Toshiba of Canada website at
