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 TOSHIBA 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 check whether you can purchase
a new battery pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with
your computer.

Internal Storage Drive Capacity

1 Gigabyte (GB) means 10

9

 = 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 = 2

30

 = 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 might vary.

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

Graphics processing unit (GPU) performance might 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 might decrease considerably when
operating in battery power mode.
