External HDD Capacity
One Gigabyte (GB) means 10
9
= 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.
A 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 computer includes one or more pre-installed operating
systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual
formatted capacity may vary.

LCD Brightness and Eye Stain
Your display panel has a brightness approaching that of a TV device.
We recommend that you adjust the brightness of your LCD to a comfortable
level to prevent possible strain on your eyes.

purchased.
Safety Use for TV Tuner
If you have to operate your computer during a thunderstorm and are
connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your
computer using AC power mode. The AC adaptor offers some protection
against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused by
lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your computer during a
thunderstorm.
