Windows RT Uses Half Of Surface Tablet’s 32GB Disk Space
Microsoft recently launched their new Surface Tablet, the device
comes with Windows RT and features 32GB of built in disk space, and
Microsoft advertises the device as coming with 32GB of storage.
It would appear that you will only be able to use around half of the
actual 32GB of storage to stores your files, as Windows RT apparently
uses around half of the 32GB available storage, have a look at what you
get below, direct from Microsoft’s website.
Here’s how much hard disk space you have available out of the box:
The 32 GB version has approximately 16 GB free hard disk space. The 64 GB version has approximately 46 GB free hard disk space.
This is something all manufacturers do with their devices, Android
devices and iOS devices advertise a certain amount of disk space, but
you can’t use it all as some of it is used by the OS, although I don’t
think many other tablets use half of their advertised disk space for the
OS.
