¹ Maximum internal hard disk and memory capacities may require the replacement of any standard hard drives or memory, and the population of all hard disk bays and memory slots with the largest currently supported drives available. When referring to variable speed CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs and DVDs, actual playback speed will vary and is often less than the maximum possible.

² When referring to storage capacity, GB = 1,000,000,000 bytes, and TB = 1,000,000,000,000 bytes. Accessible capacity is less.
