Hard Disk Drive or Solid State Drive?

Question

Hello
I am about to buy a new laptop Mac and i'm wondering if i should get an SSD.
As people say it seems to be much faster/silent and more reliable than a standard 7200 rpm HDD's. The only con is that at this time they are quite expensive (128GB=180€).
I'm also thinking, eventually, how to work with logic sessions and how/where
i should place the different files/samples/archive to create the best working system?
At the moment i'm working with a PowerPC with Logic installed in its internal HDD and all the sessions/audiofiles/samples in an external Firewire800 HDD.
Any suggestion from you guys would be much appreciated.
Thanks

I currently am in the same situation with my TP YOGA, i called lenovo yesterday, the gave me mixed answers and i was told they would call back with a straight answer, they did not. 
The E531 lists the HDD/SSD as a CRU, meaning you should be able to do it yourself, and the lenovo warrenty terms and conditions state 
"WHAT THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT COVER
This Agreement and the Services do not cover the following:
 uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Product;
 loss of, or damage to, your data;
 any software programs, whether provided with the product or installed subsequently (except to
the extent specifically stated in this Agreement);
 failure or damage resulting from misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating
environment, natural disasters, power surges, or improper maintenance by You;
 damage caused by a non-authorized service provider;
 failure of, or damage caused by, any third party products, including those that Lenovo may
provide or integrate into the Lenovo product at your request;
 any technical or other support, such as assistance with “how-to” questions and those regarding

 peripheral or third party products, even if installed by Lenovo; and
 Consumable products such as batteries.
This Agreement and each Service is voided by removal or alteration of identification labels on the

so as long as you dont fudge up the install, you should be covered under warrenty (obviously not for the new part)
Like i said, i tried getting a straight answer over the phone to no avail, i will try again later today and see how we go.
