Our notebooks have been designed primarily with mobile applications in mind.
This means that considerable effort has been made to optimize components and
equipment in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the
particular confi guration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be
slightly reduced co mpared to a desktop PC if you are running processor-intensive
gaming software, e.g. games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware with
drivers which have not been approved by Fujitsu m ay result in performance losses,
data losses or malfunction of the equipment . A list of approved drivers and current
