Wouldn't get a laptop that doesn't have an SSD.  That one does, but it's only 32GB - so enough for the OS, etc., and other program files I think.

Need someone more technical than me to say if it's big enough to get the benefit of having an SSD over  a HDD.

Otherwise, spec looks decent.

What would you say is the minimum SSD size for a Laptop.

I'd guess at 128GB, but it is a guess.

The one on mine is 255GB, and has convinced me never to buy another laptop that doesn't have a SSD.
