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).
Some software may differ from its retail version (if available), and may not include user manuals or all program functionality.
3Processor (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
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.
Copy protection technology may also prevent or limit recording or viewing of certain optical media.
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.
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
