994GB not 1TB?

Why does my MacBook air M2 (excellent excellent machine) not say 1TB? Thanks..

Because part of it is reserved for the sealed OS.

M1 Max MacBook Pro 16" - Storage showing 994.66GB instead of 1TB

Not a big deal really. I was just wondering why it says 994.66GB instead of the full 1TB. On my old laptop, it said 1TB. Anyone else had this?

As Apple_Robert said. Same thing happens on Windows PCs…

I wondered the same thing when I got my first AS Mac, it seems AS Macs have a 6GB APFS for the snapshot as best I could determine.
