Yeah I understand this and know how manufacturers like to use different metrics. Honestly I know you deal with a lot of people that probably dont know this and so it came off a little condisending. My issue was that on my rig at home ive got 31020 MiB of memory but my laptop with supposedly the same amount of ram has significantly less. 27.11GiB. I was thinking either my ram might be bad or it wasnt reading it correctly. In the end I think the manufactuer just skimped out on the ram even more so than youd expect. Ive got 4x8GB corsair vengence in my rig, not sure what brand is used in the laptop im having the issue with but im gonna take it apart and find out so I avoid it in the future.
