I need a new laptop for general business work and for doing some web graphics using a tool like Adobe Fireworks.
Currently, I have an old and slow Windows 7 machine. I gave it new life for a while by upgrading the RAM to 8 gig and putting an SSD in it. I have a 100G SSD which is less than 50% full and a 250G HD which is less than 50% full.
Now, I'm ready to move on.
I'd like a machine with minimum 8G RAM, a mid-range processor, 15" or larger screen, and a minimum 250Gig SSD. No mechanical harddrive.
The thing is that the only Windows laptops I'm finding with SSD's on them also have high-end i7 CPU's.
It seems to me that for general use, a fast AMD or an Intel i3 or i5 would benefit tremendously from having an SSD instead of a 5400RPM mechanical hard-drive. I'm claiming that for general business use, an SSD coupled with a mid-range CPU will have an effective throughput that's better than a high-end CPU with a typical 5400RPM mechanical drive (If you think I'm mistaken, please correct me!)
No one I can find sells mid-range CPU's with SSD's.
Anyone know of a mfg who's selling Windows laptops with mid-range CPU's and SSD's?
