I do look forward to it, but I am not holding my breath. It's still all about spinning discs at this point and I expect to see advances in density with spinning discs long before I expect to see advances in density with SSD. It's coming I'm sure, but we still have a long wait.<br><br>But that is one damn sexy looking lappy.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[happy_penguin]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 14th 2008 3:06AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/14/toshiba-portege-r500-12q-surfaces-with-128gb-ssd/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/04/14/toshiba-portege-r500-12q-surfaces-with-128gb-ssd/</guid><description><![CDATA[I just wish they would offer 32GB or so SSDs in laptops in addition to the hideously expensive larger models.

Sorry, not going to happen.  My 34G partition is often full even though I moved all user directories off it.
