So my parents want to buy a netbook for travelling. The most common options between all the netbooks (Asus EeePC, Dell, Acer Aspire One, etc.) are to choose either an 8GB Solid State Drive or a 120GB hard disk drive.
Now my parents don't need harddrive space for anything really but it would be nice to have. All they do is keep digital photos. I am thinking 8GB SDD would be enough and I like how SSD's are faster than HDDs.
My main concern is battery life. Do SSD drives have a significant benefit in terms of battery life over regular HDDs?
