1Hard 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.

2TFT 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 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 LCD Screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic

characteristic of LCD technology.

3The 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.

4Central 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 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. For

optimum performance, use your computer product only under

recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under

“Environmental Conditions” in your product Resource Guide. Contact

Toshiba Technical Service and Support for more information.

5Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor

components, manufacturing variability and options selected.
