HDD incorrect?

work · 2011-04-05 17:44:06

Hi< I bought this laptop and the HDD adds to 530+28= 558 http://www.saveonlaptops.co.uk/Lenov...60_988428.html As you see it is meant to be 640GB. Is there something I am missing or is this correct?

Seems about right to me. There's probably a hidden recovery partition there too which is taking up some of your space. The advertised amount you see, is not what you get. The internet can explain better than I!

Here's an article + calculator to help understand why you don't get the full 640GB
