$600 Laptop With mSata?

[thescreensavers]

Anyone know of a laptop in the $600 range with mSata slot?

Do they exist?

 

[RU482]

cheapest on Newegg is $1299.

I imagine later this year, M.2 or mSATA will become more common place.

There is always this option: mSATA adapters

Some laptops have an Msata slot.

Very cheap but outdated

(probably something good there at $600)

Edit: Look for laptops with SSD caching, Here is the dell 15z http://www.dell.com/ca/p/inspiron-15z-5523/fs for example @$600. I believe that at that price range you are looking mostly at dell, lenovo and HP.

Thinkpads can be gotten around $600, and they come with an mSATA slot.

My Thinkpad x220 has an mSATA, and I got it for $700, but that was with about $60 of upgrades as well.

I picked up a Dell Vostro 3360 for pretty cheap from Dell Outlet with a coupon. You can have your pick for under $600, including Core i5 models. Note that if the system does NOT come with the mSATA drive, the retaining screw will be missing. For mine, I wedged a thin piece of foam between the cover and the drive, which effectively holds it in place.

I think every thinkpad t or w series I have had or we have ordered my dad's business has had an msata slot for the last 3 years. I have a 14" t420s for sale with msata drive in the fs/ft forum.
