CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design
configuration.
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of
lost data or damage to the product when used outside recommended
conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of
data by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. Use your
computer product only under recommended conditions. Read additional
restrictions under “Environmental Conditions” in your product “Detailed
Specs.” Contact Toshiba Technical Service and Support for more
information.

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.
6
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.
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 with dim
and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while
on battery power
8
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.
9
Sound. SRS® TruSurround XT® only available in Windows
10
Modem Speed. Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the
maximum permissible transmission rates during download. Actual data
transmission speeds will vary depending on line conditions.
11
Wireless. Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to
purchase additional software, external hardware or services. Availability
of public wireless LAN access points may be limited. The transmission
speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which wireless LAN
can reach may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic
environment, obstacles, access point design and configuration, and client
design and software/hardware configurations. The actual transmission
speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed. To use the
Atheros SuperAG™ or SuperG™ wireless function, if available, your
client and access point must support the corresponding feature.
Performance of these functions may vary depending on the format of
data transmitted.
12
Weight. Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor
components, manufacturing variability and options selected
13
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.
Express Media Player is not a Windows based application. Battery life
will be less than when using similar applications in the Windows
Operating System.
