1 Power management reduces processor speed when in battery mode. 2 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. 3 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 equipment, and download of a V.92 support device driver when available. Check with your telephone and Internet service providers for availability. 4 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. 5 Expandable to up to 2.0 GB of system memory. Memory options up to 1 GB SO DIMMs each can be added in the two available slots for memory expansion. To get the maximum 2 GB to which memory can be expanded, replace the standard memory card with a 1 GB card and add another 1 GB card in the extra slot. 6 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 system memory size. 7 Thickness may vary at certain points on the system. 8 For combination drives, maximum speeds are given in the following order: CD-R, CD-RW, CD, and DVD. 9 GB equals one billion bytes when referring to HDD. Accessible capacity is less. Up to 4 GB is used in the service partition. 10 As an ENERGY STAR partner, Lenovo has determined that all models of this product meet the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. 11 Refer to the models and features available in your country. 12 Supported in panning mode. 13 Recharge time also varies. 14 These model numbers achieved the Ziff Davis Media Inc.′s Business Winstone 2002 BatteryMark V1.0 battery rundown time of at least the time shown.
