Battery Life

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.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity

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 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.
