(1) Actual weight may vary depending on vendor components, manufacturing process, or options. Weight does not include external diskette drive.
Electrical specifications
Universal AC adapter: 100-240 V AC, 1.2-0.7A, 50 to 60 Hz
Li-Ion battery pack: 11.1 V, 1.4 AH
Heat dissipation
48 K Cal/H
Acoustic noise level Class 3D (office environment)
Sound pressure level (operator position): 40 dB (operating)
Sound power level: 5.1 Bels (operating), 4.8 Bels (idling)
NOTE: The noise emission level stated is the declared (upper limit) sound power level, in Bels, for a random sample of machines, typically configured, and operating in idle mode; for example, powered on, but no DASD read/write or other I/O activity. All measurements made in accordance with ANSI S12.10, and reported in conformance with ISO 9296.
Operating environment ThinkPad computers are designed, built, and tested for high quality and reliability. When used properly in standard business environments, a ThinkPad system should be a reli able computing asset for many years. However, harsh environments and abuse can damage ThinkPads since they are not intended to withstand extreme temperatures, dust, shock, or other severe physical environments.
ThinkPad systems should not be used in unsuitable environments. For example, a ThinkPad system should not be used in non-stationary environments, such as in-vehicle installations, without additional casing or shock-dissipation. IBM warrants that the ThinkPad will conform to its Official Published Specifications when used in a suitable physical operating environment.
