Yep, and this applies to a lot of different industries.

You are given theoretical numbers, not practical end-user numbers.

If you really needed the extra ~62GB, then you probably should've gotten a larger (or additional) hard drive?

Where this can be infuriating is when an unsuspecting customer purchases a brand new laptop, only to find the formatted hard drive has less storage, and even still, the operating system eats up a huge amount as well. This has triggered legal action for certain phones. While one or the other might be acceptable, the compounding effect of an OS & the lost storage on a format = can be disappointing.

or op pm'd me since your no help here.
