Well, I have a computer that takes a long time to start up and it's kind of annoying sometimes, so I decided I'd purchase a small SSD to help speed that up. I was looking at this:

Now, it says 32gb. My windows folder is BIG for some reason; it's 30.5gb. My question is, are SSDs like hard drives, where there is always a little less space than advertised?
If so, how can I make my windows folder smaller? It seems huge. I'm interested in buying a laptop that comes with a 16gb SSD and using that just for booting, but what the hell, my windows folder is 30gb!
Any help would be appreciated.
Also, would buying the laptop with the 16gb SSD be beneficial at all for windows? It comes with Windows 8 but if I don't like it, I might install windows 7 on it. But I don't want it to be too small..
