Reference information
1 Power management features may reduce processor speed when in battery mode.
2 GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity is less. Up to 4 GB is used in the service partition.
3 11a, 11b, and 11g wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. An adapter with 11 a/b or 11/a/b/g can communicate on any of these listed formats; the actual connection is based on the access point to which it connects.
4 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.
5 Public network download speeds are limited to 53 Kbps. Upload speeds are limited to 48 Kbps for V.92 modems. Actual speeds depend on many factors and are often less than the maximum possible. V.92 functions and speeds require a compatible phone line and server equipment, and download of the V.92 support device driver when available. Check with your telephone and Internet service providers for availability.
6 For ThinkPad models without a separate video card, memory supports both system and video. Accessible system memory may be up to 64 MB less than the amount stated, depending on video mode.
7 Maximum CD and DVD drive rates; rates are variable and are often less than the maximum.
8 Includes battery in system; weight may vary depending on vendor components, manufacturing process, or options.
9 Thickness may vary at certain points on the system.
10 Expandable to up to 1 GB of system memory. Memory options up to 512 MB SDRAM SO DIMMs each can be added in the two available slots for memory expansion. To get the 1 GB maximum memory, remove the standard 128 or 256 MB module and add two 512 MB modules.
11 As an ENERGY STAR partner, IBM has determined that all models of this product meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
