Optical Drive. Due to manufacturing and quality variations in third party optical
media (e.g., CD or DVD) or optical media players/recorders, in certain cases, your
Toshiba optical drive may not record on certain optical media that bear the
applicable logo, or playback optical media recorded by other PCs or optical media
recorders. Additionally, certain optical media recorded on your optical drive may not
playback or operate properly on other PCs or optical media players. These
problems are not due to any defect in your Toshiba PC or optical drive. Please
refer to your PC's product specification for listing of specific format compatibilities.
Recording or viewing of certain optical media may be limited or prevented in
accordance with applicable copy protection standards.

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.
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.

Modem Speed. Due to FCC limitations, speeds of 53 kbps are the maximum
permissible transmission rates during download. Actual data transmission speeds
will vary depending on line conditions.

12
Wireless. Wireless connectivity and some features may require you to purchase
additional software, external hardware or services. Availability of public wireless
LAN access points may be limited. 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. To use the
Atheros SuperAG™ or SuperG™ wireless function, if available, your client and
access point must support the corresponding feature. Performance of these
functions may vary depending on the format of data transmitted.

Wireless-N. The 802.11a/g/n wireless adapter is based on a draft release
version of the IEEE 802.11n specification, which may not be compatible with, or
support all features (e.g., security) of, certain Wi-Fi® equipment
.

Weight. Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor
components, manufacturing variability and options selected.
15
Battery Life. Battery life may vary considerably from specifications 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. See
“Detailed Specs” for specific battery measurement test. Recharge time varies
depending on usage. Battery may not charge while computer is consuming full
power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum
capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries. To purchase a
new battery pack, see the accessories information that shipped with your computer
or visit the Toshiba web site at
