SSDs just aren't suited to most OS's, since OS's tend to do a lot of reading/writing constantly. SSDs have a drastically shorter rw life-span than traditional HDDs. Good for storage though. The only benifet to putting them in laptops over traditional HDDs is they're a bit more vibration-safe. But traditional HDDs aren't terrible vs vibration, and to be honest, if your laptop is sustaining that much trauma, it's probably going to have other failures as well.
