While I really like the look of the Surface Studio I was shocked at the GPU choice and the fact it comes with a hybrid drive. I mean I do think it is still a good machine even for the price but come on!

What's wrong with a hybrid drive?

  They are not as fast as an SSD.

    In some use cases they are, since they contain an SSD as a large cache. They are also a lot cheaper than an SSD, so it's nice to get some of the benefits without all the cost.

      For me solid state > moving parts. Faster and run cooler. Edit: afaik the only moving part in the Surface Studio are the fans. Replacing a fan is an annoyance but at least it won't lead to data loss!

Oh, heck. Didn't notice that, yet. That's a bit rough!
