There are of course several reasons why anyone would want a laptop with 1TB of storage space — music and videos. In terms of movie playback and overall display quality, the M70 sports a WUXGA display capable of 1920x1200, giving users the full "1080" HD resolution. For those who want to connect their laptops to a home theater receiver or a larger display, the M70 also sports a HDMI port. The HDMI port itself supports delivery of audio signals and the M70 is able to output a full DD5.1 signal to a receiver or decoder/pre-amp.
It’s clear that solid-state drives (SSDs) are not yet the norm, with prices still way up in the sky and out of reach for the majority of users. Besides being out of reach, capacities are still very limited compared to platter-based hard drives. Apple for example makes available a 64GB SSD upgrade for customers who are looking at the ultra-thin MacBook Air. But being on the edge of technology commands a price premium, and the 64GB SSD option from Apple is a whopping $1000 upgrade. Obviously it’s entirely possible to buy a SSD drive from another reseller and upgrade a MacBook Pro after the fact.
If you’re still hungry for storage, you can attach an external USB HDD. But thanks to an e-SATA port, users have the option of buying e-SATA drives and enjoy superior performance vs. USB.
