Express Media Player

The Express Media Player is not a Windows based application. Battery life will be less than when using similar applications in the Windows Operating System.

LCD Brightness and Eye Strain

Your LCD display has a brightness approaching that of a TV device. We recom- mend that you adjust the brightness of your LCD to a comfortable level to pre- vent possible strain on your eyes.

Graphics Processing Unit (“GPU”) Performance Disclaimer

The graphics processing unit ("GPU") performance may vary depending on product model, design configuration, applications, power management settings and features utilized.

GPU performance is only optimized when operating in AC power mode and may decrease considerably when operating in battery power mode.

Main Memory Disclaimer

The graphics system in your computer may use part of the main system memory for graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of system memory available for other computing activities. The amount of system memory allocated to support graphics may vary depending on the graphics system, applications uti- lized, system memory size and other factors.
