well, here's a wacky one. My 32GB Lenovo went back for a warranty repair in January. I finally noticed this last night - no wonder I've been running out of memory.

Chatting to the live service, their records say it's a 16GB machine, mate!

It was certainly 32GB when I got it, and I even have the syslog of installation in Nov 2024 saying it's got 32GB.

Anyone else had Lenovo try to pull something similar?

also, they don't and *can't* email you the chat logs. Odd as they're material to the case. I'll be GDPRing those I think.

@davidgerard I guess it's time to start stripping our computers before sending them for warranty repairs!
