Should AW come with SSD as default?

I mean, AW laptops are awesome and such, but their HDD options are the suxx...



Why not a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 by default? And I picked this one because of quality/price but I'd be happy with Gskill, Corsair, Intel...





Opinions?

Of course they shouldn't.



Everyone knows that this would drive the base cost up. Better to simply buy one after-market and sell the original, which will be better on your pocket in the long run.

I agree, the prices Dell offers on the factory installed SSD's isn't that great. I ordered mine with the smallest drive I could then installed my own SSD and saved some bucks.

I think they'd much rather keep it as an optional upgrade and slap they're 300% markup on it.







Obviously it should come with the SSD as standard. It should also come with a hefty collection of free games and a neon sign to set up outside your house that says "I own an Alienware! HAH!".



Aaaaaaand then we wake up. Bugger...
