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. Charging times vary depending on operating conditions. Battery may not charge fully during heavy loading.

2 Mobile processors: Power management reduces processor speed when in battery mode.

3 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.

4 Requires compatible mini-PCI wireless-enabled options that are sold separately.

5 Requires download of client security software from the Web.

6 For PCs without a separate video card, memory supports both system and video. Accessible system memory is up to 128 MB less than the amount stated, depending on video mode.

7 GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity is less. Up to 4 GB is used in the service partition.

8 Includes battery; weight may vary depending on vendor components, manufacturing process, or options.

9 Data transfer can vary and is often less than the maximum.

10 With 512 MB base memory the system recognizes up to 1.536 GB of addressable memory.

11 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.

12 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.
