laptop question
So I know a little, but not a lot about computers.
Which would be better in a laptop for around the same price:
1 TB of HDD
512 TB of SSD
128 GB of SSD and 1 TB of HDD
I know SSD is better but how much and in what balance based on the above 3 scenario's ?
Hoping there's a computer geek out there
Thanks!"Tastefully Pimptastic"

Re: laptop question
If you can get a 512 TB of SSD at the same price as the other 2 options, go for it.
Assuming you meant 512 GB, I would probably go for that unless you plan on keeping a lot of data, like a lot of movies, on it.
But the SSD, or the hybrid drive would both be much better than the HDD.

Re: laptop question
Depends on what you're trying to do. If you're storing a lot of data long term and not using it often, normal HDD's are just fine. If you're getting a normal use laptop to use everyday, hands down go SSD. They're cheap enough now that you should always use SSD as your main drive. If you need storage, get a desktop or something and load a few old school spinners in it with high capacity.

Re: laptop question
If it's the boot drive you'll want that SSD. You can always buy a cheap external HDD for extra storage, but you're going to want the quick boot up of an SSD.

Re: laptop question
Thanks all. Won’t be a lot of pictures or video/movie stored. A lot of video meetings, and then just work from home , etc. so looking for speed mostly and not as concerned with storeage. Currently best deal I see is a HP 2 in 1 touch screen. Sounds like 512 SSD best for me. The 128 ssd with 1tb HDD was a thought but for what I’m using it for sounds like 512 ssd would be better.
