 Build-to-Order/Configure-to-Order.  Certain notebook chassis are 
designed to accommodate all possible configurations for an entire 
product series.  Your select model may not have all the features and 
specifications corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the 
notebook chassis, unless you have selected all those features.

 Operating System.  Certain Microsoft® software product(s) included 
with this computer may use technological measures for copy protection. 
IN SUCH EVENT, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO USE THE PRODUCT IF 
YOU DO NOT FULLY COMPLY WITH THE PRODUCT ACTIVATION 
PROCEDURES.  Product activation procedures and Microsoft’s privacy 
policy will be detailed during initial launch of the product, or upon certain 
reinstallations of the software product(s) or reconfigurations of the 
computer, and may be completed by Internet or telephone (toll charges 
may apply). 
Some software may differ from its retail version (if available), and may not 
include user manuals or all program functionality.

 Processor (Central Processing Unit).   
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications 
under the following conditions: 
 
1. 
use of certain external peripheral products 
2. 
use of battery power instead of AC power  
3. 
use of certain multimedia, computer generated 
graphics or video applications 
4. 
use of standard telephone lines or low speed 
network connections 
5. 
use of complex modeling software, such as high end 
computer aided design applications 
6. 
use of several applications or functionalities 
simultaneously 
7. 
use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high 
altitude >1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea 
level)  
8. 
use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 
5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86° F) or >25°C (77°F) at high 
altitude (all temperature references are approximate 
and may vary depending on the specific computer 
model – please visit the Toshiba website at 
 for details). 
 
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.

 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.

 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

 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.
