The new laptop has all solid state storage, an SSD. No spinning drive.
That'll be something new for me in an actual laptop or desktop
computer
but of course precisely what is in a smart phone and most tablets.

Supposedly faster than a hard drive, easier on the battery, et cetera.
But not upgradeable, the way a hard drive is.

What kind of storage capacity do they offer? I think getting away
from spinning hard drives is a great idea.


Absolutely, especially in a portable device like a laptop.
