use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41
-86°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are
approximate and might vary depending on the specific computer
model - contact Technical Support for details).
CPU performance might also vary from specifications due to design
configuration.
Under some conditions, your computer product might 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 in your product documentation.

64-Bit Computing
Certain 32-bit device drivers and/or applications might not be compatible
with a 64-bit CPU operating system and therefore might not function
properly.
Memory (Main System)
Part of the main system memory might 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 might vary depending on the
graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size, and other
factors.
Battery Life
Battery life might 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 Dynabook at the
time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery
might not charge while computer is consuming full power.
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery loses its
ability to perform at maximum capacity and needs 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.
