This laptop will meet all your needs, the SSD is for cache, u can always replace the HDD with an SSD when u wish to..

I learnt that the mechncal HDD can be replaced by an SSD or may be replace the ODD by an SSD, so u have 2 drives for storage. I'm not sure if its true and possible in all laptops but that's the case. It will still be under warranty except for the hard drive part.

Thanks.. I will ask around for this
