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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
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
will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen
while on battery power.
8. Modem Speed
Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum permissible
rates during downloads. Actual data transmission speeds will vary
depending on line conditions.
9. 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.
