Battery life (and recharge times) varies based on many factors including screen brightness, applications, features, power management, battery conditioning, and other customer preferences. Recharge time also varies depending on system mode.
2 With Intel SpeedStep, processor speed may be reduced to conserve battery power.
3 Wi-Fi wireless upgradable models may be wireless-enabled with the addition of an optional wireless LAN Mini-PCI card. These systems are designed to operate only with wireless LAN Mini-PCI options sold by IBM.
4 11a, 11b, and 11g wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. An adapter with 11b/g or 11a/b/g can communicate on any of these formats; the actual connection is based on the access point to which it connects.
5 Requires compatible Mini-PCI wireless enabled options, sold separately.
6 Requires download of client security software from the Web.
7 Includes battery; weight may vary depending on vendor components, manufacturing process, or options.
8 GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity may vary. Up to 4 GB is used in service partition.
9 If 256 MB base memory is installed, the system recognizes up to 1.28 GB of addressable memory. If 512 base MB memory is installed, the system recognizes up to 1.536 GB of addressable memory. Memory options up to 1024 MB PC2-4200 DDR2 SDRAM SO DIMM can be added for maximum memory expansion.
10 For PCs without a separate video card, memory supports both system and video. Accessible system memory is up to 64 MB less than the amount stated, depending on video mode.
11 Memory operates at 400 MHz, equivalent to 4200 MB per second.
12 Maximum memory capacity may require the replacement of the standard component with the largest supported component available.
13 The V.90 modem can receive data at up to 56 Kbps from a compatible service provider and transmit data at up to 31.2 Kbps. Public networks currently limit maximum download speeds to about 53 Kbps. Actual speeds depend on many factors and are often less than the maximum possible.
14 Public network download speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Upload speeds are limited to 48 Kbps for V.92 modems. V.92 functions and speeds require a compatible phone line and server equipment, and download of a V.92 support device driver when available. Check with your telephone and Internet service providers for availability.
15 Wi-Fi wireless lets you connect to a LAN without wires or cables. To connect to the Internet, the Cisco AP1200 (or similar device) and an Internet connection are required. This product has been tested and certified to be interoperable by the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance and is authorized to carry the Wi-Fi logo.
