2Actual throughput may vary depending on network conditions and environmental factors such as network traffic or overhead, building construction and access point settings.
5As a phenomenon known to thin-film transistors (TFTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs) commonly exhibit a small number of discoloration dots, so-called "non-conforming pixels." This phenomenon is a limitation of TFT LCD technology, not a product defect, and as such is not covered by warranty.
7Shared system memory may be allocated to support integrated graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors. Actual system memory available to the operating system will be reduced by the amount of dedicated and shared system memory utilized by the graphics solution and resources required by the operating environment.
8A 64-bit operating system is required to enjoy the ultimate performance of 4 GB memory. Shared system memory may be allocated to support integrated graphics, depending on system memory size and other factors. Actual system memory available to the operating system will be reduced by the amount of dedicated and shared system memory utilized by the graphics solution and resources required by the operating environment.
91 GB is 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less and may vary depending on preloaded materials and the operating environment. Gateway Recovery Management utilizes up to 10 GB of the stated hard disk capacity as dedicated backup space.
10Battery life varies depending on product specifications, computer settings, and applications or features launched, and may be reduced if Windows Aero® is enabled. All batteries' maximum capacity diminishes with time and use.
13A 60-day complimentary subscription to Microsoft® Office 2007 is included; an Internet connection is required to start the trial.
