Sure, but laptops with HDD are a niche case. That's not what your average user wants nor has and for good reason.

Your indexing performance would also sharply decline when subjected to the random access seek times of those 2.5" spinning metal.

I can promise you the average user of a laptop doesn't have the first clue about the difference between an SSD and HDD.
