Just to add a few comments on ALeUNe's post:

Capacity really plays a huge part in mobile desktop when you're using mainly PS or 3D rendered stuff. When you need to rely on an external HDD but it fails, you surely won't be happy and you need to bring it along everywhere you go. Plus if your SSD fails, your data recovery cost would be more expensive than the amount of what HDD pays for these days because of it's hardware nature. Lowest cost to recover a 1TB HDD of a bad circuit board- RM1.5k, Lowest cost to recover a 80GB SSD(any condition), RM3k or above.

In fact, SSD is lighter than generic HDD.

Can it totally decrease a laptop's weight by 10%?? If it's 5%, then there's no meaning at all since you won't feel much about it.

What is Intel G6950? I don't know what is G6950.
Assuming this is desktop, i think it's old desktop. WD Green 320GB? It pales when it compares to Velociraptor.
SSD is the "faster than Velociraptor" for notebook.
Moreoever, 7200rpm notebook HDD is slower than desktop WD Green 7200rpm 320GB.
So, moving from WD Green 7200rpm 320GB to 7200rpm notebook HDD is a DOWNGRADE.

I'm not suggesting thread starter to spend 3K to downgrade system (unless he owns a P3 or P4 desktop system).
Who fails to understand desktop-replacement notebook?

then tell me, wat's a desktop with Pentium G6950 + WD Caviar Green 320GB + Intel GMA HD? is that not a desktop?


If you still don't grab what this means, then it'll be pointless to talk about your "desktop replacement" anymore...
