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 Wi-Fi wireless upgradable models may be wireless-enabled with the addition of an optional wireless LAN mini-PCI card. These systems operate only with wireless LAN mini-PCI options sold by IBM.
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 formats; the actual connection is based on the access point to which it connects.
4 With Intel SpeedStep, processor speed may be reduced to conserve battery power.
5 Requires compatible 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 Thickness may vary at certain points on the system.
9 GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity may vary. Up to 4 GB is used in service partition.
10 Memory operates at 266 MHz, equivalent to 2100 MB per second.
11 Recognizes up to 2.0 GB of addressable memory. Memory options up to 1024 MB (using PC2100 or PC2700 DDR SDRAM SO DIMM) can be added for maximum memory expansion.
12 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.
13 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 V.92 support device driver when available. Check with your telephone and Internet service providers for availability.
14 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.
