depending on product model, configuration, applications, power management settings
and features utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by
the design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are achieved
on select models and configurations tested by Toshiba at the time of publication.

4 Calculated as one PCs per person.
5 CO2 emissions are calculated based on the method developed by the
Research Center for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Based on the usage conditions
(in households) defined by The Energy Conservation Center, the requirements
for calculating LCA are: use for 15 hours per week (operating mode: 10 hours,
stand-by mode: 5 hours), based on 52 weeks (one year) and five years of PC usage.
The calculation is based on mainstream notebook PC (15-inch LCD with Celeron type CPU)
and desktop PCs with similar specifications that are in wide use.
