Um, the machine I'm using now cost about $400 and doesn't have an SSD, runs Ubuntu with programming IDEs, OpenOffice and WinXP virtual instances for IE testing and Flash and Gmail open constantly and it almost never hangs or feels unresponsive unless a program is misbehaving, which is rare and easy to detect and fix.
I'm really curious about his setup. If it's Windows, I've been able to make long-used Windows machines feel much snappier by trimming cruft annually or so. One of the reasons I love Ubuntu so much is that I don't have to do that.
