Just got my new SC15, and i am a little surprised windows is installed on HHD instead of SSD. I would figure laptop would run better off SSD, is it worth reinstalling everything and setting up SSD as my primary C:\ drive?

    Follow up questions, what would the easiest way for me to do that? I am used to media coming along with the laptops, but i don't really think that happens any more.

    Definitely. I find it strange that it would have shipped like that. I just ordered my SC15 yesterday and its about to ship, I'll report back and let you know how mine was configured.
