Is there a problem with all batches of this product or why？

If you bought 2G version, then you will only have 1.5G since 0.5 is eaten by the gpu subsystem and can’t be used by cpu in any way.

To see total memory use

lshw -c memory

Or

awk ‘/MemTotal/ {print $2}’ /proc/meminfo

I have run lshw -c memory ，but i get the message is still 1.5G， look up screenshot
