eh... internal hard drives are probably the first thing they'd look at in terms of minimizing costs. i can totally see them issue a hard drive add on, see how that sells with their products/see how many people are running HDDs through a system check, then deciding on a later model if they should include it with the lower costs, using it to offset the difference and make a bit more profit.
least, that's what i assume they'll do. they want the initial costs low, so no HDD would be the easiest possibility, with the ability to add on your own if you want.
