Some new changes to the site, I noticed that SSD's are added now, just wanted to give you guys a heads up. Too bad the sale is not as good as it was a couple of days ago.

sweet... they are a $927 upgrade ... ok maybe not that sweet but still nice to see.

I notice prices are up a bit on the starting prices too in general.

The RMB went up quite a bit against the USD. Everything made in China will be higher.

this is what they will look like:

shown above is the 64GB samsung SSD from my X300 inside the T/R/X 1.8" to 2.5" adapter.

I think this would be an awesome opportunity to add a second drive. It should theoretically be possible to have 2 x 1,8" SSD drivers in there. Then build a nice software raid 0 and that thing is the fastest notebook on the planet.

you can't boot from software raid I thought since the PC can only see the array after the OS is loaded....

I guess a small system partition just for the OS would solve this, all the apps/data would then reside on the raid0 volume.

in case you are running Linux/XP. otherwise 40GB for Vista...

Vista SP1 and Office Enterprise SP1 installed i'm only using 8.65GB of my 20GB partition.

Those are the 2 main big things, the rest are smaller but still needed for me. So if that fits everything for me then i assume 40GB might be pushing it unless you need photoshop and 3D programs and games (not solitaire)
