Our notebooks have been designed primarily with mobile applications in mind. This
means that considerable effort has been made to optimise components and equipment
in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the particular
con
fi
guration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be slightly reduced
compared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive gaming software, e.g.
games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware with drivers which have not
been approved by Fujitsu Technology Solutions may result in performance losses, data
losses or malfunction of the equipment. A list of approved drivers and current BIOS
versions can be downloaded from:
