Performance Information and Restriction

speed at every moment to control the heating and power

consumption of the computer for minimum performance

degradation.

For best computer performance:

1. Connect the AC adapter.

2. Launch Settings software, and select General > Max.

About the Product Capacity Representation

Standard

About the capacity representation of the storage

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer

is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage

device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the

capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the

actual capacity due to the dierence in capacity calculation.

(E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB,

80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte = 74.505GB)

Windows may also display a smaller hard disk capacity due

to some hidden functions or software programs such as the

Recovery program.

About Memory Capacity Representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual

capacity of memory.

This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory

or claims it for further use.

(E.g. For 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report

the capacity as 1,022MB or less)
