It's a netbook (but not in terms of price), not a mac pro with 4 hard drive bays with 1TB each. 60GB is ample. It's designed for web browsing, email, etc. Maybe some word processing, powerpoints, etc.
i disagree. these days, even the OS takes up at least 10 GB, and some more. and 60 GB after formatted is what, 54 GB or so? so you're down to 44 GB with no personal files or apps installed. what about putting some music or videos on it for while your on the go?
