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.



The current laptops now offer storage SSDs from 128 GBs to 768 GBs, and
you get get hybrid drives on the desktops that combine spinning drives
and SSDs.
