[geeks] Those new mini-notebooks

[Nate]

SSD performance varies widely - for instance, the Acer Aspire One  
with SSD could come with one of two different brands of SSD, and one  
performs a lot better than another.  In linux, there's all sorts of  
tuning you can do for SSD storage for better performance.

It's pretty clear that SSD storage is still pretty immature, and it  
really doesn't offer a significant advantage for me considering the  
massive tradeoff in storage size, which is why I got an Aspire One  
with a 128GB hard drive.  SSD will improve a lot in the next few  
years, but until then, eh.
