3. Graphics (Graphics Processing Unit)
GPU performance may 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 may decrease considerably when operating in battery
power mode.
4. Battery Life
Battery life may vary considerably from specifications 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. See
“Detailed Specs” for specific battery measurement test. Recharge time
varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge while computer is
consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its
ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced.
This is normal for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see
the accessories information that shipped with your computer or visit
the Toshiba web site at www.accessories.toshiba.com.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Display
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn on
your PC. Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-
film 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 will dim and you may not be
able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.
8. Modem Speed
Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum
permissible rates during downloads. Actual data transmission speeds
will vary depending on line conditions.
