Product capacity representation

Storage capacity representation

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. For example, for an 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB, 80x1,000x1,000x1,000 byte/(1,024x1,024x1,024)byte =

74.505GB. In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even

smaller because some programs such as Recovery may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

computer may not start.

Recommended screen resolutions

The recommended screen resolution for Windows is “FHD” (1,920x1,080) and for Windows 8.1 is “QHD+” (3,200x1,800).

If you set the resolution higher than the recommended value, it may result in problems with some applications, due to limitations of the operating system.

Memory capacity representation

The memory capacity reported in Windows is less than the actual capacity of memory. This is because BIOS or a video adapter uses a portion of memory or claims it for further use. For example, for 1GB(=1,024MB) memory installed, Windows may report the capacity as 1,022MB or less.
