    I've decided on getting the sony sz (many thanks to forum members for their help/suggestions). Last question is which hard drive config should I get:

    1. 160 GB Hybrid Hard Drive (256MB Flash) - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm

    2. 160 GB - Serial ATA-150 - 5400 rpm

    Both priced about the same. Any advantages/disadvantages to the hybrid drive? Thanks for the help. ;)

    I'd say if the extra cash isn't a problem, go with the hybrid. You shouldn't be disappointed with more battery life.
