NOTE: To properly ventilate the computer, allow at least a 7.6-cm (3-inch) clearance on the left side

conditions are affected by high external temperatures, system power consumption, power management/
battery conservation configurations, battery fast charging, and software requirements. Exhaust air is
displaced through the ventilation grill located on the left side of the computer.
