If you put extra chip like that that's not even close. In this case it's more like when you have 8GB ram on PC and it says only 7.85GB usable while the rest are hardware reserves
IMHO your analogy is very much flawed.
Instead of dissecting it, I'll throw just one more argument your way before giving up. This is what the L1020's spec sheet would have looked like, if we lived in a world where technical accuracy was more important than marketing:
RAM: | 1 GB |
Camera: | 41 MP, Carl Zeiss lens, OIS, Xenon Flash, additional 1GB of dedicated VRAM |
This is quite similar to how specs are listed for PC's with dedicated graphics cards. Have you ever seen a system with a dedicated graphics card, where the spec sheet summed the system RAM and VRAM capacities and listed them as a single spec? No, you haven't. Why not? If you know anything about graphics cards, you'll have no problem coming up with multiple reasons why that's a bad idea, and every one of them also counts as a reason as to why it's also a bad idea when done for the L1020.
