Is there any logical reason for the Windows version to have more storage? What is that about?
Masking the cost of the Windows license is my guess.
Microsoft has weird rules with OEMs about selling the same hardware without a Windows license. This might be a way around it.
Why would they want to do that? Like, if I'm Lenovo, I'm genuinely excited about this, and want people to buy it. They can pocket the difference on the Windows license while selling more units because the product is more attractive. They have no reason to actively encourage people to stick with Windows, unless MS is paying them to?
It really just seems like an experiment for them. I hope people buy them...
Probably don't want to antagonize MS, but don't know how things work at this level, so just randomly guessing.
