GB is often used as an abbreviation of the word "Gigabyte". There are two ways that this meaning may be interpreted. Often, rather than using powers of ten with computers, we use powers of two. As a result "kilo", "mega", "giga" and so on are used to represent powers of 1024 (210). Some people however use the more classical notation, where those terms represent powers of 1000 (103).
So depending on who you're talking to, a gigabyte could be 10243 bytes, or 10003 bytes. A byte is equal to eight bits, and each bit represents an on/off switch in your computer, so ultimately, you can say that a gigabyte is either:
8589934592 on/off switches (10243 × 8), or:
8000000000 on/off switches (10003 × 8),
consequently, 360GB would be either:
3092376453120 on/off switches, or:
2880000000000 on/off switches.
For a bit of perspective on how big that is, the Answers.com logo at the top left corner of this page is (as of this writing), 4515 bytes, or 36120 bits. Which means that you could fit about 85.6 million of them on a 360GB drive (using the 1024 base).

Do you mean the 320 GB slim they did not yet make the 360 GB model But they do make a 160 GB model. Anyway you will get about half what it is worth because they need to then sell it for a profit. Most times after they have sent it away to be refurbished
Mathematical theory says 1000 is equal to 1kilo while in computer 1kb is equal to 1024bits explain the difference?
1 km is not equal to 1 mile It's different subjects, and thus different means of measurement. I don't think anyone knows why they didn't make it simpler, maybe it has something to do with the face that you can never fully access the entire storage medium. 360gb HD's for example only let you store about 349gb of data.
What is the key to good video quality for watching shows online on a laptop is it the processor speed or RAM or memory and what is good for these things ie 2 GHz or 360GB?
First of all, good video quality depends most importantly on the quality of the video itself. As for the viewer, some of the factors to look out for are: - good screen resolution (1366X768, 1920X1080 or better) - good screen size (14', 15' or bigger) - internet download speed (2-3mb+) - good graphic card (NVIDIA, ATI or Intel HD graphic cards with 256MB+ GDDR3) As for the processor (CPU) or memory (same as RAM), it's not as important. The better the better.
