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 highprecision 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.

The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.

Central Processing Unit (“CPU”) Performance Disclaimer. CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications

under the following conditions:

1. use of certain external peripheral products

2. use of battery power instead of AC power

3. use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video applications

4. use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections

5. use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided design applications

6. use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously

7. use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)

8. use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86° F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are approximate and may vary depending on the specific computer model – please refer to your Resource Guide or visit the Toshiba website at

www.pcsupport.toshiba.com

for details).

CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design 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 back-up copies of data by periodically storing it on an external storage medium.
