What is the capacity of brandnew 64 gb ipad4 retina wifi cellular right after opening the box?

I just got a 64 GB ipad 4 wifi + cellular. But I was surprised to see that the capacity shown in the setting is only 57GB!!

Is this normal??

Thanks for your help.

iPad, iOS 6.0.1, Brand new from trusted carrier.

Yes, it's normal. My 32GB shows 28GB capacity. There is space required for iOS. Then you'll need additional space for iOS to do its work -- leave a very minimum of 10% (6.4GB) free for this.
