Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity
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.
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”)
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.
Wireless LAN
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.
