[QUOTE="Stronk, post: 2267419, member: 86622"] Hey you're right about the SATA vs Nvme ssd difference, but for the op's use case it wouldn't matter at all. The speed difference between a SSD and a Nvme ssd for daily use purposes is practically indistinguishable, including boot times. It's a 5-10% difference at best (and that's when comparing the best desktop SSDs, pretty sure the gap will be much lower for laptop OEM SSDs since they are often lower speeds, especially in budget models like these), and definitely nowhere near the 4-5x sequential speed difference. You can check out the video below with a blind speed test between sata, nvme gen3 and nvme gen4 SSDs. When even professional video editors couldn't tell the difference, I highly doubt OP would notice the difference: [MEDIA=youtube]4DKLA7w9eeA[/MEDIA] Also I would really recommend against going for a MSI laptop: they are known for being the worst customer service experience in India. Granted that others are not much better, but to date I'm yet to find a positive experience listed online, unlike for other brands where there's at least 1 or 2 positive reviews on forums and subreddits compared to the many more negative ones. The MSI is 8k over ops budget, and tbh the only reason for it is the ryzen processor - the modern series are known for flimsy build quality so op take your gamble. Edit: just saw that the msi one has only a 256gb ssd, which might get filled quickly.., a 512gb sata ssd would be better for op's use case than a more powerful processor but with a smaller nvme ssd - 4 core 8 thread is still plenty for basic office work (though dual core become limiting for multitasking).
