I do this for laptops too when an option, I just make sure to buy laptops that can take two. More common it seems with the advent of msata or m2 drives.
I'm not a fan of splitting file systems between disparate disks (one or the other dies, there went half your os), unless you're just creating a dump drive for stuff like movies and such on a spinner.
Apple isn't exactly doing magic with their use of a ssd as a cache, as usual they just sell it as such and make it brainless for users to take advantage. Look up dm-cache, flashcache, or bcache for the same thing under linux, where dm-cache is built into newer kernels as part of lvm (maybe bcache too).

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
