- 64-bit Operating System

- 64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)

- 64-bit Device drivers

- 64-bit applications

Certain device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible with a 64-bit CPU and therefore may not function properly. A 32-bit version of the operating system is preinstalled

on your computer unless explicitly stated that the operating system is 64-bit. See "Detailed Specs" for more information.

1Product Series Legal Footnote. The product specifications and configuration information are designed for a product Series. Your particular model may

not have all the features and specifications listed or illustrated. For more detailed information about the features and specifications on your particular model,

please visit Toshiba's Web site at pcsupport.toshiba.com.

3Processor (Central Processing Unit).

Also see 64-Bit Computing Legal Footnote, if applicable.

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 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 shut-down. 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. Use your

computer product only under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under “Environmental Conditions” in your product “Detailed Specs.” Contact Toshiba Technical

Service and Support for more information.

4Memory (Main System). 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.

5Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity.

1 Gigabyte (GB) means 109= 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 = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows 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.

6Optical Drive. Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party optical media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/recorders, in certain cases, your Toshiba optical

drive may not record on certain optical media that bear the applicable logo, or playback optical media recorded by other PCs or optical media recorders. Additionally, certain optical

media recorded on your optical drive may not playback or operate properly on other PCs or optical media players. These problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba PC or

optical drive. Please refer to your PC's product specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.

Recording or viewing of certain optical media may be limited or prevented in accordance with applicable copy protection standards.

7Display. Small bright dots may appear on your screen 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 screen will deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology.

When the computer is operated on battery power, the screen with dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.

8Graphics (Graphics Processing 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.

This product specification is variable and subject to change prior to product launch.

depending on system memory size and other factors.

9Modem Speed. Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum permissible transmission rates during download. Actual data transmission speeds will vary

depending on line conditions.

10 Wireless. Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to purchase additional software, external hardware or services. Availability of public wireless LAN access

points may be limited. 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. To use the Atheros SuperAG™ or SuperG™ wireless function, if available, your client and access point must support the corresponding feature.

Performance of these functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.

11 Weight. Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor components, manufacturing variability and options selected.

12 Battery Life. Battery life may vary considerably from specifications 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. See “Detailed Specs” for specific battery measurement test. 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.
