Question from stumpy: Asked on 31/03/2007 Windows base score is 3.2

Question from scooper: Asked on 30/03/2007 the windows base overall base score is 3.2

cpu 4.6
ram 4.5
graphics 3.7
gaming graphics 3.2
hard drive data transfer 4.9


i have had mine for a week and i am very impressed with it

One question though why is it showing onlly 140gb hard drive?

Answer from Easycom: Answered on 02/04/2007
Thanks for posting those scores! The missing hard drive space question comes up a lot, but is unfortunately an unavoidable trait in the IT industry, as no hard drive will show the same ammount of available space as it says on the label. Due to the formatting and partitioning, and the way that manufacturers define a gigabyte for marketing purposes, the computer will always see 5-15% less total available space by the time it reaches the consumer.
