Battery Life
Battery life may vary considerably 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. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not 
charge while computer is consuming full power. 
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose 
its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. 
This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery 
pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your computer.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity
1 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.
LCD
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 
may 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.
Total Available Graphics Memory is the total of, as applicable, Dedicated 
Video Memory, System Video Memory and Shared System Memory. 
Shared System Memory will vary depending on system memory size and 
other factors.
