This is a new laptop, and I've never seen this before. Why is it like that, and what happens when the C drive gets low on space? The D drive is currently empty.

Well, don't let it to get low.

I would resize the C:\ to smaller 80GB partition and move all non system items off the C:\ drive.

It will be easy to keep it defrageed and it will not take that much time to defrag. In case of corrupted system data, u can simply re-install the windows and loose no data.
