Battery Life
*2
Battery life may vary considerably 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. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not
charge while computer is consuming full power.
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose
its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced.
This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery
pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your computer.
HDD Drive Capacity
*3
1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1000 Ч 1000 Ч 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 Ч 1024 Ч 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
Windows and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content.
Actual formatted capacity may vary.
LCD *4
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.
Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode.
The screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and
you will not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.
