    The Kingston SSD is faster and cheaper. My tip, order with the basic 250 GB HDD and get a Samsung 830 Series at computeruniverse.net for 160 yoyos. And get another 4 GB memory module, shame to have that third slot unpopulated. ;)

    Personally, I don't like the notion of a platter HDD in a laptop but then, it's a 17" and more of a desktop replacement so it should be OK.

    It says £920, when I check the configuration, am I missing something? I also notice, the third 4GB memory module is quite pricey, it adds £37. You'll get that a lot cheaper elsewhere (€21 here).
