Hello Eric. Yes your message does help. Can you give me any insight into laptops with things such as, 32 gb ssd drive, plus a 500 gb hard drive. i understand the space requirements, what i'm curious about is the 32 gb for example is that to load Windows, and other applications, and the bigger one is mainly for files? Sorry if this confuses you, haven't had coffee yet :) hope your turkey day was a good one. Siobhan On Nov 23, 2012, at 8:28 AM, Eric Damery <[email protected]> wrote:
