I'd buy an SSD if I could only find one
I wanted the Acer Aspire One with Linux and 8GB SSD, partly to be robust in transit (as well as online!) and partly to learn about Linux as i've only ever used windows. Asda are doing the 150 with HDD and Windows cheap (£150, six in stock at my local branch) but no-one seems to stock the variant I wanted and Acer aren't the nicest people on the phone to deal with. I found one stockist at about £230 and thought given the low price of the HDD with Windows tax that this was unrealistic.
