Yeah, that is the downside. They aren't cheap - a decent 250GB one is about £135 (I got the samsung 840), but obviously smaller is cheaper. I have about 190GB worth of work software and games, but you might be able to get a 100GB, for instance.

They're okay but you have to have a motherboard that supports the faster speeds.
I've 2x250Gb SSDs and they are the slowest things on my Windows index. Start up time it's probably the only thing that I know/notice as "fast" anymore, though when you first get one as your primary drive you do notice other loading to be faster.

I don't get it, ¿Why are you speculating the reboot specs comparing with TDS specs? We all know TDS was a God damn crappy bad port
First, it's an UE 3 game, so it won't feature ultra-awesome OMG I'M GONNA J*** OFF graphics, and graphically it reminds a lot Dishonored, but with a more realistic aesthetics
Second, I'm almost sure it's going to be a port from consoles , and in terms of perfomance it will be the same as the Next gen consoles, because as Durango and the PS4 features an x86 architecture, devs won't have to worry about coding or porting games and they will more focus on other tasks
Third, I hardly doubt the PS4 will feature 8 GB of DDR5 RAM, unless the console will be priced at 1500$ and Sony wants to get in bankrupt.

Sony Americas head Jack Tretton made some interesting remarks when asked about the PS4:
“(PS4) is still in development in terms of final specs and design.”
Fourth, next gen games will fully support Quad Core processors,
Fifth the specs I mentioned? Those were from an Samsung ultrabook that I was intending to buy, but finally I will get a better HP notebook in terms of performance the following specs, even though it's a bit more heavy:
Intel® Core™ i7-3630QM (2,4 GHz, 6 MB of L3 cache)
RAM: 6 GB DDR3
GPU:NVIDIA GeForce GT 635M (2 GB DDR3 of memory)
OS: Windows 8 64 bits
Now, what do you think about those specs?

Well, if you can't guess at this way-too-early stage, with all you know, you might be asking the wrong and very small group of people in the wrong sub-forum. You might get the answers you want in General Gaming or the Technical board.

Dude, there is no way
anything proper would run on those specs, Dude.
I mean, "God damn!"

If this is some kind of joke I don't like it at all. Those specs are the best you can find in any decent performant entertainment notebook. But some people (like you) are so used with Gaming desktops at the point that when they see a device with inferior specs say "Meh, what a pill of scrap and junk"
When I'm talking about if these specs are enough, I mean if they'll allow me to run a game at 30 fps at minimum/medium settings, not getting a game at 60 fps with ultra or high settings

My laptop has the GT540m (=GT630M in the current gen), 6GB RAM and a 2.3Ghz i5. It could play skyrim, DXHR, and Mass Effect 2 with no problems at all on medium/high settings at it's native res of 1360x768. I haven't tried Dishonored, but I reckon it could handle it fine on medium settings.

That's a desktop replacement laptop, not an ultrabook. They're on the polar opposite ends of the portable computer spectrum.
