Dunno. Wish I had gotten an SSD. Then I'd be the coolest dude ever.

SSDs read faster than HDDs, but they write slower. This is why they're better to put your OS on it, but keep data on a HDD. Not to mention the grotesque cost per GB.

I also got one of those 11" Alienware M11x laptops not too long ago. ULV C2D SU7300, Nvidia GT335M, 4GB, 250GB, with a Razer Orochi mouse. Pretty powerful little machine that can do 7/8 hours on battery with switchable Intel graphics.
