Laptop (Win7) is rocking two hybrids; I only wish I could have found a larger hybrid as the secondary drive. The Surface Pro (Win8.1) is strictly SSD. Booting and everything else is significantly faster on the Surface.
Core i7 chips in both with lots of RAM in each: the laptop has 16GB and the Surface has 8GB. Post processing takes place on the laptop or the desktop.
