A 240 GB SSD is only $100-$120. That Dell is a much better deal. It would take you less than 30 minutes to clone the HD, then you are left with the original HD you can use as a portable (or a back-up).
**I do totally agree though that SSD makes all the difference. It’s the most significant performance jump you will experience per $.
My company gave me one of these so I didn’t pay for it, but for what it’s worth I love this machine. The soft keys in place of the function keys can take some getting used to but overall the performance and size/weight of this machine seem like a great value at this price.
If you need an ultraportable laptop that performs better than a Chromebook, this is a great choice.
how often do you even use/need caps lock? that button has never been useful, yet it has had so much negative impact that people have had to program warnings into login screens to alert the user that the caps lock is on.
stick it up with the function keys, not with freaking shift and tab and “a”
