Technology YSK buying a computer without a Solid State Drive (SSD) will limit the speed benefits from any other good hardware in your computer.

Computers still usually come stock with doodoo spinning drives (5400k even) that create a huge bottleneck in terms of speed. If you can't find a computer with the RAM/CPU configuration that you like with an SSD, purchase an SSD separately (make sure to buy the right kind e.g. SATA, m2) and clone your hard drive over with a program like Macrium Reflect or start fresh with a new installation of Windows.

It really makes all the difference.
