Laptop Magazine decided to replace the HDD that came with their MSI Wind laptop with a SSD. The results? The computer still boots Windows XP in about 32-34 seconds. And programs launch at about the same speed they used to. Withouto looking at any benchmarks, it’s safe to say that these are two of the measures that will matter most to users. Of course, I’d also be curious to know how the “upgraded” PC handles tasks like copying and moving large files. But considering how much more expensive solid state disks are than hard disk drives at the moment, it appears MSI decided to go with the option that will help keep the price of the Wind laptop low without sacrificing much in the way of performance. And it appears to have been the right choice… for this particular computer.
