Since the operating system and pre-installed applications need to take up a certain amount of space, the available space of the previous Suface RT tablet has shrunk significantly compared to the nominal value, and recently reported that the same The phenomenon also occurred on the Surface Pro tablet that will be available on February 9. Among them, the 128GB version of Surface Pro is occupied by the system and the preset App up to 45GB, that is, the remaining available capacity is 83GB.
