Why Buy a Laptop with an SSD?
Consider a well-known movie scene. You need to copy something from a computer to a flash drive quickly, and we mean within 30 seconds. So you turn on the light, and...

Even if it does magically start up, unless you're copying kilobytes of data, there's no way you'll be able to do it.
