Yes, I switched to a ssd on my laptop a little while ago, I bought a 64gb drive. I was a little concerned at the time on if it would be large enough or not but it seems to suit my needs, if you just keep the basics on it as has been said already, you would be fine but to be double sure, a 128gb drive would be the option, I have one of these in my desktop and it is sufficient.

My Toshiba came with 128 GB SSD. The hard drive would be any external you would want to back up and store files no I guess. With the 128 GB I have set up a partition and run Win 7 on one and Win 8 on the other, plus Office 2010 on both.

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.
