I'm lobbying to get a solid state laptop because I run a 25GB SQL server database on my machine and this would be a huge upgrade for me over the traditional hard-drive situation I have. Its ridiculous but I have to order it through Software House International because they are our preferred hardware supplier and I want to get an HP because its a brand our IT group will actually support.
So I'm looking at a few options:
[tablegrid= HP ]Model SHI Part# Monitor Memory Storage Processor K4K45UT 29351764 17 inch 8GB 256GB SSD 2.8ghz L9H60UT 30183929 15 inch 16GB 512GB SSD 2.6ghz F1M39UT 29351801 15 inch 16GB 256GB SSD / 1TB HDD 2.8ghz K4K46UT 29351765 17 inch 16GB 256GB SSD / 1TB HDD 2.8ghz K1M77AW 29489766 17 inch 8GB 256GB SSD 2.8ghz [/tablegrid]
As far as I can tell beyond the specs I noted above these laptops are all basically the same, except for the L9H60UT which doesnt have an optical drive which isnt a big deal. What strikes me as odd is the difference in price between the K4K45UT & K4K46UT, the K4K46UT has 8GB more of memory which I can just buy an install for like $100 and also a 1TB HDD as well and I plan to get an external drive which would take care of that. But is there anything else I am not seeing here? Also, I cant figure out what the difference is between the the [SIZE=14.3999996185303px]K4K45UT and the [/SIZE]K1M77AW besides the 8GB of memory
Also, does anyone have any experience with HP SSDs or SSDs in general? I've read some promising stuff but I'd like to hear what others have thought about them.
