    Hello,
    I have to choose between 3 things that a friend can give me as gift:
    - Lexar SSD 8gb ExpressCard
    - Zalman NC1000B notebookcooler
    - Waterfield Sleeve with Flap

    Knowing that I can have the same price for each of those, could you rate in witch order would you purchase those?
    Ps: It's for a g1s-a1, and about the sleeve, it's to put in a Booq XM Python.

    About the SSD drive, it is better than a usb-2 drive?

    thank a lot,
    VersuSqc

    imo
    1. notebook cooler
    2. ssd
    3. sleeve

    but its really dependent on your use and what you already have (that may be similar) already

    As az_blizard said, it depends upon what accessories you have already and how you use your laptop in your lifestyle. For example, if you use your laptop primarily on the go, and you have a relatively cheap case, then I would choose the sleeve first, the ssd second (if you are running Vista, can be used for ReadyBoost I think), and then the cooler as your last priority.
