I like Lenovo's laptops (and ThinkCentre desktops)....specifically their Thinkpad lineup of laptops.
Usually I'm against 5,400 rpm drives....those contribute to laptops being really slow. May run better with the hyrid setup with the 8 gig SSD. If not..can always snag an SSD and clone the 1 TB drive to that...swapping it out.
