Agreed, it's a bit of a straw man. It's certainly an issue that hard drive capacity is advertised as being higher than it actually is (and that BS apple is pulling is inexcusable), but the actual issue people were taking with the Surface is the fact that when you buy it it's packed so full of bloat and crapware that half the useable disk space is already depleted on a 64gb model.

Office? If the 128GB MBA is taking up similar space, does it mean that it too comes with "bloat and crapware" ?
- soperj 14y agoPretty sure a bunch of that used space is actually just a recovery partition that you can get rid of if you want to.
- rayiner 14y agoYou shouldn't have to tweak a consumer device fresh out of the box. Heck, I program on my MBA and literally the only thing I've done is let it run Software Update when it asks me, change the wallpaper, and dial up the trackpad speed.
