HP updates Compaq DC7800 with optional 16GB SSD

HP Compaq DC7800 Ultra-Slim PC

HP has announced an update to their ultra-slim line of desktops, now offering the option to include SSD storage. The Compaq DC7800 is currently available and pricing begins at just $729, however the optional 16GB SSD will run you an extra $328, which is almost half the price of the computer itself. The DC7800 comes standard with a 80GB 7200 rpm hard drive with an additional option to add a 160GB 7200 rpm hard drive for an additional $16.

While SSD storage seems like a nice option, at this point I would be more willing to spend the extra money if I were purchasing a laptop. Is SSD storage on a desktop really worth the premium price that it currently demands?

This is where we call out by names the actions and companies that seem odd, out of touch or just plain straight up smokin’ crack.  See if your favorite company made the list this week over at Gadgetell.
