where did you read this ? it doesnt make sense because unlike Aspire one, there is no HDD configuration, that means Dell has to use the SSDs for winxp too, which would be too slow if these ARE the slow versions...
Actually, does make sense to use the MLC (Slow type SSD's) as it helps keep the costs down... In comparison, an 16GB SSD (SLC - faster type) will cost you $179.00... I dont think Dell would be putting in a $179.00 SSD into their budget Netbook to sell for between $300-$400... Now that doesn't make business sense... and thats what this is about... creating enough of a profit margin for this venture into the Netbook arena to make enough business sense...
This is the very reason why Asus put a fast SSD (4GB) for the primary OS to boot/run... and then the slower SSD for storage...
