One Gigabyte (GB) means 10

9

 = 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 = 2

30

 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and 

therefore shows 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.

Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the 

brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic 

characteristic of LCD technology.
Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode. 

Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and you 

will not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.

Graphics processor 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.

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.
The wireless adapter is based on a draft 2.0 release version of the IEEE 

802.11n specification and; may not be full compatible with, or support some 

feature (e.g., security) of, certain Wi-Fi equipment.

The "USB Sleep & Charge function" may not work with certain external 

device even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In those 

cases, turn the power of the computer ON to charge the device.
