1. Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See
www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx
and www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx for details.
Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on your computer. To download the tool, visit

.
2. Dual/Quad Core is a new technology designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will
necessarily benefit from use of this technology. 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS,
operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an
Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software configurations. See www.intel.com/info/em64t
for more information.
3. Do not copy copy-right protected materials. Double Layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. Double-layer discs burned with this drive
may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players. LightScribe creates a monochrome image. LightScribe media required
and sold separately. Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to
2.6 GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0 media..
4. WiFi access point and Internet service required and not included. Availability of public wireless access points limited.
5. The specifications for the 802.11n WLAN are draft specifications and are not final. If the final specifications differ from the draft specifications, it may
affect the ability of the notebook to communicate with other 802.11n WLAN devices.
6. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 8 GB (for XP) and 10 GB (for Vista) of system disk is reserved for the
system recovery software.
7. The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual
operating speed of 1 Gb/sec. For high speed transmission, connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
8. Fast Charge technology recharges your battery up to 90% within 90 minutes when the system is off. Fast Charge does not apply to 12-cell Ultra-
Capacity battery.
9. Select models only. Some functionality of Intel Centrino Pro and vPro, such as Intel Active management technology and Intel Virtualization technology,
requires additional 3rd party software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Centrino Pro and vPro technology is
dependant on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" and Microsoft Windows Vista operating system is yet to be
determined.
10. Sold separately or purchased as an optional feature.
11. Windows Vista Business disk may be included for future upgrade if desired. To qualify for this downgrade an end user must be a business (including
governmental or educational institutions) and is expected to order at least 25 customer systems with the same custom image.
12. HD content required to view HD images.
13. Dual Channel is only supported when the system is configured with DDR2 symmetric memory (ie: 2x256).
14. 60 day trial period. Internet access required to receive updates. First update included. Subscription required for updates thereafter. This McAfee Total
Protection for Small Business software is licensed to you by McAfee under the terms of the McAfee end user license agreement which can be read at
www.mcafee.com
.
15. Testing was not intended to demonstrate fitness for DOD contracts requirements or for military use.
Test results are not a guarantee of future performance
under these test conditions.
16. As Blu-Ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may arise, and do
not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require a DVI
or HDMI digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. This Blu-ray drive does not support writing to ultra-high speed CDRW media
(16X to 32X advertised performance). HD-DVD movies cannot be played on this Notebook PC.
17. Maximum memory capacities assume 64-bit operating systems. Microsoft® Windows® XP (32-bit) supports 4GB (with Microsoft 32-bit, the amount of
usable memory will be dependent upon your system configuration. It may be less than 4GB); 32-bit Linux can support up to 8GB
18. Wireless, internet, and VoIP require separately purchased service contract
