Our notebooks have been designed primarily with m obile applications in mind.
This means that considerable effort has been made t o optimise components and
equipment in terms of weight, space and energy requirements. Depending on the
particular configuration you have purchased, it is possible that functionality may be
slightly reduced compared to a desktop PC if you are ru nnin g proce ssor-intensive
gaming software, e.g. games with intensive 3D graphics. Updating your hardware
with drivers which have not been approved by Fujitsu Siemens Computers may
result in performance losses, data losses or malfunction of the equipment. A
list of approved drivers and current BIOS versions can be do wnloaded from:
