6.2 Clarification on RAM and Storage Specifications

Q: Why does the product description state 8GB of RAM and 64GB of hard drive capacity, but the product itself does not include a memory card or hard drive?

A: The mention of 8GB RAM and 64GB hard drive capacity in some product listings refers to the *supported capacities* for memory cards (e.g., Micro SD) and hard drives, not that the product comes pre-installed with these components.
