    If that baby had 4G LTE in it I'd jump on it in a heartbeat.

    I have an SSD for my home computer and I regret the purchase. Other than a faster boot, I don't really notice a speed difference. That surprised me a good bit especially since I use Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop (Elements).

    OT, but I'll never own another computer with a mechanical HD for a boot drive. My 9 YO. Acer Travelmate with a 1st gen Core 2 and 4MB RAM boots Win 7 in 11 seconds using an old Samsung 830 SATAII.

    Newegg has been running the Crucial M500 240GB SSD for about $110 shipped. I've had really good luck with their SSD's and RAM.

    Interesting. Could be placebo effect but I notice a speed advantage in LR and PS on my machine with an SSD.
