I was going to buy a Toshiba Portege R500 with a 64GB SSD but there's no supply at the moment.
Fortunately, I've just taken delivery of a Dell XPS M1330 with a 64GB SSD in it. I know I've paid a premium as an early adopter but I've been wanting this tech for some time. The Dell is a great machine and in fact I think I prefer it to the Toshiba. It certainly has a better spec CPU, graphics card and keyboard IMHO.
SSDs will probably be ubiquitous in ultra-portables within the next year or two. Prices will drop quickly and the benefits in terms of robustness, speed and energy efficiency will make them a no-brainer. They will, eventually, be much cheaper than HDDs I'm sure of that.
In the meantime, my XPS runs fast, cool and silent and I'm one happy Dell customer;).
There's more to PC games than computer towers and input devices... Enter the CM Storm Sirus, the outfit's first foray into the world of gaming headsets.
