Hard Drive Capacity. 1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1000 x 1000 x 1000 =
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 = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore may show
less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the
product includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, such as
Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or
media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

TFT 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.
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.
