Out of 64GB, Surface lets you use 23GB

Published January 30, 2013 | By Don Pedro

Out of the 64GB storage space available in the Surface only 23GB will be available for use. The OS, Recovery Partition and installed apps will steal 41GB of space. Holy hell, this thing is supposed to be optimized for tablets? This is the stripped down version of Windows 8? My ass!!

The Pro version is just as bad, with 45GB going to the OS and apps. This is worse than a pre-configured PC. What part of a 40+GB OS is portable?

Microsoft’s 64GB Surface Pro will only have 23GB usable storage
