Hah! I was thinking of posting the exact same question. Though I don't care about an SSD for an otherwise good machine, as I'm happy enough to put one in myself.

Recommendations at different prices points would also be appreciated!

Running my first SSD Laptop now and won't look back. It's definitely worth them money. U/K/L buntu 14.04 with btrfs does also a good job by enablig ssd specfics during boot.

Ah, I think you misunderstood my post. I like my ssd as well, but I don't care if the laptop comes with one, as I'll just buy one separately and fit it myself. :)
