It's a hybrid hard drive, not a proper ssd. You do not install anything directly on to the 8gb, it's only there to speed up access to the hard drive

Seems decent with FHD and SSD. Anyone got one?

Looks pretty good. I wonder though is 8GB enough to hold windows 10 which is what I assume the SSD is for? I snuggled with a 32GB lenovo until I upgraded to an larger SSD.

Yes, its an SSHD. I've had an SSHD fail on me but the replacement has been going great for the last year.
For the specs, I think this is HOT. :confused:

The hybrid drives are... ok, it covers a bit of ground. You're... correct on it's use but... not completely correct. The point of it is it will automatically work out what the 8GB of most accessed stuff you use is, these will end up cached on the 8GB SSD part. It doesn't need to hold all of windows to get the speed boost as not everything in windows is needed to boot to desktop, stuff that's used every boot will be the "most used" files quite quickly (along with start stuff and programs you regularly run). You'll see the "improved speed of access/use" you get from an SSD for the first bit of stuff you use regularly, it won't help with everything though :smiley:

Is the manufacturer reliable?

Lenovo is very reliable. The issue you have to remember this is towards the lower end of the range. You get what you pay for if it's quality you want.

Cannot comment on laptop, but bought the Lenovo Thinkserver on here earlier this year. Quality of the build is fantastic. Almost too good for a PC, which will probably be changed in 3 to 4 years time. Bought from ServersPlus who were excellent. Answered my query immediately, and I could understand the person on the other end of the phone!
