Packaging say's 500gb, w*windows shows a 200gb disk.

Obviously what you see in file explorer as a disk is just a single partition on the disk that could be a lot larger, but that's besides the point

I bet if you tilted the computer ever so slightly to match the bend, Windows would show more available space.

I know you're joking but with Windows you never know.
