Functionally, their "32 GB SSD drive" has about 7 GB of usable space before it maxes out in which they have to fit all their programs, utilities, miscellaneous pictures/video of the kids, games... or they can buy a normal laptop and we can get them a 500 GB internal drive and they're good to go for a decently long while.
And THAT is why the SSD's, even though OEM's would love to use them for marketroid reasons, are going to be a long time in making anything obsolete. I wouldn't use anything less than a 500GB drive for a machine today, whether laptop OR desktop, and the largest commercial SSD currently is a mere 128 GB.
His assertion is that 32GB is insufficient to run a functional system on. I asserted otherwise using my system as an example. While it's highly likely that a Vista install is larger than an XP install, it's unlikely that it's nearly 10GB larger.
So yes, I call shenanigans on his primary assertion; however I cannot speak to the availability of Sony drivers for a laptop.
