Is there a job/carrier that don't require the use of computers?

Configuring a new macbook pro? hardrive!!! SSD VS ATA?

• so i am transferring schools mid year because i have problems at the school i am going to now (socially and academically) so i've decided to go back to my old school; but this is their first year with a highschool so its REALLY small (total of 3 people... and yes i mean 3.) EVERYTHING is computer based - they even have CUBICLES (in one of the classrooms). and they require me to have a computer. well...i do not have one (i have an inspirion mini but that is SUPER slow) the school i am going to now gives us macbook pros (it belongs to the school but they give it to us cause they use computers too). but the school i am TRANSFERRING to doesnt require a specific brand. but i like apple. so anyway i was just configuring it to figure out the costs and i saw under the "hard drive" section that i could either pick a 750GB serial ata drive @ 5400 rmp. (like thats the basic) or i could get the 128GB solid state drive? i dont get it... why would you pay more for less GB's? unless im missing something here? i read that it has "no moving parts for enhanced durability" but what does that mean? which would you pick? i also picked the 8GB instead of the basic 4GB because thats too small. which would you pick? 750GB serial ATA drive or the 128GB solid state drive? what is the difference? is there a big difference? why would you pay more for less (128GB vs 750GB)? i am just a 14 year old girl who has no knowledge on computer so please try and dumb it down a bit! but its not like im totally stupid :b ha thanks

• Answer:

  SSD's are faster. You wont notice all that much of a speed increase, however. If you'll only be taking notes and writing essays, I would go with the SSD. If you'll be doing things like playing games that are massive, go with the HDD. Or get a SSD and get an external HDD for big things.
