1. Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See
www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx and
www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx for details. Windows Vista Upgrade
Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on your computer. To
download the tool, visit www.windowsvista.com/upgradeadvisor.
2. Dual Core is a new technology designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all
customers or software applications will necessarily benefit from use of this technology. 64-bit
computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will
not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance
will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t for
more information
3. Do not copy copy-right protected materials. Intended for creation and storage of your original material
and other lawful uses. Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. Double-layer
discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and
players. LightScribe creates a monochrome image. LightScribe media required and sold separately.
Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6 GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0
media.
4. WiFi access point and Internet service required and not included. Availability of public wireless
access points limited. VoIP requires a separately purchased service contract.
5. The specifications for the 802.11n WLAN are draft specifications and are not final. If the final
specifications differ from the draft specifications, it may affect the ability of the notebook to
communicate with other 802.11n WLAN devices.
6. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB (for XP) and 10
GB (for Vista) of system disk is reserved for the system recovery software.
7. Shared video memory (UMA) uses part of the total system memory for video performance. System
memory dedicated to video performance is not available for other use by programs.
8. Fast Charge recharges your primary battery up to 90% within 90 minutes when the system is off.
9. Sold separately or purchased as an optional feature.
10. Dual Channel is only supported when the system is configured with DDR2 symmetric memory (ie:
2x256).
11. 32-bit operating systems can only address ~3.2 GB. To fully utilizing memory configurations of 4 GB
or more, a 64-bit operating system is required.
12. HD content required to view HD images
13. Windows Vista Business disk may be included for future upgrade if desired. To qualify for this
downgrade an end user must be a business (including governmental or educational institutions) and
