Memory (Main System). Part of the main system memory may 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 may vary depending on
the graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size and other factors.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity. 1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 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 = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore may show
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 may vary.

transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic characteristic
of the TFT manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This
is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology.
When the computer is operated on battery power, the screen with dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery
power.
