Disclaimers

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. For PC’s configured with 4GB of system memory, the full system 

memory space for computing activities will be considerably less and will 

vary bay model and system configuration.

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.

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 1GB = 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 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. 

The screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and 

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