I don't get this, my Dell will boot Ubuntu in 60-70 seconds. Then my
laptop will be on all day, unless suspended, coming up from suspension
takes about 3 seconds. Why would I spend hard earned extra money to save
60 seconds on a 10 to 16 hour day? Doesn't make sense to me.
As for general performance, an i5 with my 1Tb HD are more than what I
need for everyday work. I don't edit video, and unless you are
recommending a SSD drive for playing I don't think it's money well spent.

If I was buying one now I wouldn't consider anything less than an SSD
drive, just for the general performance increase especially booting.
Even if you have a small boot drive and a larger main drive.
