About the Product Capacity Representation
Standard
About Memory Capacity Representation
The memory capacity reported in the Chrome OS 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 1 GB(=1,024 MB) memory installed, OS(Windows, Chrome,
etc.) may report the capacity as 1,022 MB or less)
Precautions for Operating System Support
If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other
operating systems(OS) or a previous version of an OS pre-installed
on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, the
company will not provide technical support, a replacement or
refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a
service charge will be applied.
Performance Restrictions
Online games and some games(3D, 2D) may not be supported
and Full HD video and some high bit rate HD video playback may
be slow and stutter on this computer.
