- shurcooL 14y agoI'd like to know this too. It seems one could not make a similar comparison of Surface Pro 64 GB vs. MacBook Air 64 GB. Perhaps the MBA 64 GB has hibernate image file removed or some other similar tricks?
- fzzzy 14y agoBlock sizes get bigger on bigger disks, so files that take up partial blocks take up more space on a bigger disk.
- mynameisvlad 14y agoBut that wouldn't account for almost 15GB difference between the 11" 64GB MBA int hat forum post, and the 13" 128GB MBA in the article.

- rayiner 14y agoMetadata overhead is proportional to the size of the disk, as is flash reserve space. Also, Apple might have sensibly left some stuff out of the 64GB image.
