    This would work in a desktop but you also have other options in a desktop that aren't as common in a laptop.
    e.g. RAID

    Raid still nowhere as quick as SSD though, but much more reliable

    I think the point is, with a desktop you have physical space - so you can have an SSD for the data that will benefit from it, and a normal disk for bulk storage. Whereas in a laptop, you don't have the luxury of multiple disks. That's where the hybrid comes into play.

    whats this full image thing?

    does it mean that nothing will be lost or changed on a hard drive swap?
