In the link above the computer has a hard-drive in it, you will know when its hard drive when it says 5400 rpm, 7200 rpm and 10,000 rpm business class that is the speed at which the hard-drive spins. SSD will say SSD beside it, there is no rpm since there is nothing spinning inside it.

what do you mean - what don't you know?
an SSD is pure ram - no moving parts

***note if you buy an SSD laptop - make sure it has an m2 model - not sata

can you point couple of example link below say around 700-1000$
too much new terminology for me.
Would be cheaper to get a laptop with sata ssd drive in it and in case youre wondering a sata ssd drive looks like this, please see link below.
