And doesn't the SSD like, make startup times almost instant?

SSD's are known to half boot-up times.
Look in the Sunday newspapers for the specials on laptops, this will be cheaper than what you can get online. PERSONALLY I'd get a medium-tier laptop and go for a desktop. And...don't get Alienware.
Mister Kyle:
Actually, buddy of mine convinced me to get a desktop, since I'm at a permanent duty station.
