It will have little to no impact on processing speed, but a solid-state HD is worth the extra expense to me. I got it on my latest Lenovo and love the boot from dead off to ready to go in 25-sec. Loading huge programs only takes a second or two.
The HD space tend to be lower with SS HDs, but if you've got external storage,then it's not an issue.
Also, make sure that you get a USB 3.0 port on any new laptop. I'd suggest comparing Lenovo to Dell.
