[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1063156, member: 140470"] As joec mentioned it really comes down to speed performance and the no moving parts issues which is really nice for a laptop since they usually move around a lot more than a desktop. Of course money is another issue. SSD cost a lot more and is considered a luxury if you can afford it. If you can't afford the SSD I would recommend getting the 7200 RPM drive instead of the stock 5400 RPM drives if you care about performance. It's not quite as fast as SSD but most people have noticed a difference in speeds. I certainly have. [/QUOTE]
