Processor (Central Processing Unit). Also see 64-Bit Computing Legal Footnote, if applicable.
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 5C to 30C (41F to 86 F) or >25C (77F) at high altitude (all temperature references are
approximate and may vary depending on the specific computer model please visit the Toshiba website at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com 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

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. Computers configured with a 32-bit operating system can address up to 3GB of system memory. Only computers configured with a
64-bit operating system can address 4 GB or more of system memory.

Storage Drive
9
Computer (Internal) HDD Capacity. One Gigabyte (GB) means 10 = 1,000,000,000 bytes and One Terabyte (TB) means 1012 = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. The
computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes and 1TB = 240 = 1,099,511,627,776 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, such as Microsoft
Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
8

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.
9

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.
10

Wireless May require purchase of additional software, external hardware, or services. Transmission speeds may vary. Certain optional features within the wireless-n
specifications (if available on your system) may not be supported.
11

USB 3.0. 5Gbps is the maximum theoretical interface transfer rate per the specifications of the Universal Serial Bus 3.0. Actual transfer rate will vary depending on your system
configuration and other factors.
12

Weight. Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor components, manufacturing variability and options selected.

Battery Life Rating.

Measured by MobileMark 2012 for models preinstalled with Microsoft Windows 8.

Benchmark rules for Mobile Mark 2012: Wireless connectivity = On, Screen brightness = 150nits, Predefined updated workloads.
Details of MobileMark 2012 testing protocols are available at www.bapco.com MobileMark is a trademark of the Business Applications Performance Corporation.
Rating is for comparison purposes only, and does not indicate the battery life that will be obtained by any individual user. Actual 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. The battery life rating is only achieved on the select models and configurations tested by Toshiba under the specific test settings at the time of
publication and is not an estimate of a systems battery life under any conditions other than the specific test settings.
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.
