I still see no reason to move to a SSD.
Despite the beauty of the new MacBook, I’m sticking with my heavy 15”.
I think the best of both worlds is a combo drive with booting from an SSD and data on a good quality, high capacity Hard drive. Makes for a very snappy system.
Unless you do a lot of traveling. . . I recall lugging my old MacBook Pro around airports in a leather briefcase with all the accessories. . . The computer alone was six and a half pounds. By the time you ran to catch a connecting flight it felt like sixty-five! A two pound MacBook would be delightful.
I just upgraded to SSD on all five of my comps. It's like having five brand new computers. Spend $100 for a 250 gig SSD, load all your programs onto it and boots and program launches happen like lightning. I will never go back to spinning disks.
One of my recently upgraded boxes is my carputer residing in the trunk of my car. I go up to a week at a time without powering it up and that trunk can get very hot during the summer months so this article caught my attention. I do keep everything on it backed up, though.
“I still see no reason to move to a SSD.”
Eleven seconds from power-on to desktop ... and that includes spinning up two HD’s.
