1. For hard drive capacity measurements, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes; actual formatted capacity less.

2. Actual modem speeds lower; speed depends on connection rate and other factors.

3. Wireless Internet access requires AirPort Base Station and Internet access (fees may apply). Some ISPs are not currently compatible with AirPort, including America Online. Range may vary with site conditions.

4. Mass varies depending on configuration and manufacturing process.
