Processor (Central Processing Unit).
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

5
Memory (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.
6
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) 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.
7
Display. 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.
8
Graphics (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.
nVIDIA GeForce™ Go 6200 with TurboCache™ with 32MB or 64MB for dedicated graphics memory. The revolutionary new nVIDIA GeForce™ Go 6200
GPU utilizes the additional bandwidth of PCI Express to reach higher levels of graphics performance than traditional graphics memory solutions. The nVIDIA
GeForce™ Go 6200 GPU shares the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated graphics memory and dynamically available system memory for turbocharged
performance and larger total graphics memory. The VRAM capacity indicated in the NVIDIA display is the sum of the discrete graphics memory and the
maximum possible graphics memory allocated dynamically by the system memory. The system memory capacity indicated in the Microsoft Windows
PROPERTIES display is the maximum possible system memory capacity without adjustment for any system memory which may be dynamically allocated to
the graphics system depending on demand..
9
Modem 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. To purchase a new battery pack, see the accessories
information that shipped with your computer or visit the Toshiba web site at www.accessories.toshiba.com.
13
Battery Life - MobileMark™. Measured by MobileMark. MobileMark is a trademark of the Business Applications Performance Corporation.
14
Software. Some software may differ from its retail version (if available), and may not include user manuals or all program functionality.
Certain Microsoft® software product(s) included with this computer may use technological measures for copy protection. IN SUCH EVENT, YOU WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO USE THE PRODUCT IF YOU DO NOT FULLY COMPLY WITH THE PRODUCT ACTIVATION PROCEDURES. Product activation procedures
and Microsoft’s privacy policy will be detailed during initial launch of the product, or upon certain reinstallations of the software product(s) or reconfigurations
of the computer, and may be completed by Internet or telephone (toll charges may apply).
15
AOL® Internet Service. Availability may be limited, especially during peak times. TO AVOID BEING CHARGED A MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP FEE,
SIMPLY CANCEL BEFORE THE THREE-MONTH PROMOTIONAL PERIOD ENDS. Premium services carry surcharges and communication surcharges
may apply, including AK, even during promotional period. Members may incur telephone charges on their phone bill, depending on their location and calling
plan, even during promotional period. Available to new AOL members in the United States, age 18 or older; a major credit card or checking account is
required.
16
AT&T® Worldnet® Service. Telephone access and other charges and other terms and conditions may apply. Offer available to new customers only.
17
Temperature (Environmental) Conditions. All temperature references are approximate and the performance of your computer may vary from
specifications even when operating within the recommended temperature range.
