Somebody who doesn't work in the IT industry - the target demographic of Windows.
I'm also surprised it's possible - but if it cuts the price, then why not? I assume 10GB more than the minimum is enough to earn the Windows badge.
But I don't think the crux of the issue was lack of disk space.
- user5994461 9y agoFor reference, a 32GB SD card is $10 and a TB disk is $40.
- estebank 9y agoWhen the entire laptop is $300, the difference between those two is 10% of the consumer facing cost. And somebody buying a $300 computer clearly doesn't think (or doesn't know) they need 1 TB of storage.
- user5994461 9y agoI gave example on a 1 TB because that's what I could find. Maybe the manufacturers could have 128GB disks for as little costs as the memory card.
