Disclaimers

HDD drive capacity

One Gigabyte (GB) means 10

= 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

= 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

will 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.

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.

External HDD Capacity

One Gigabyte (GB) means 10

=1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.

A computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using

powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB=2

=1,073,741,824 bytes, and

therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also

be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating

systems, pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual

formatted capacity may vary.
