    From my knowledge the Intel SSD is supposed to be the best one. I hope you'd upgrade the RAM for that price... and the battery

    So T400's SSD is MLC or SLC?
    But if I order 4 gb ddr3 kit is only $120sth..
    Is T400's RAM installation as easy as other laptops?
    Is the 128gbssd= 64gb ssd x2?
    So.. there would be 2SSDs inside my laptop,which means heavier?
    Just wonder how they can put 2SSDs inside a laptop..(Does the laptop really have space?)
    $250 for a SSD is really a good deal(Can I just take one and put it into my destop..?- -")

    So...Samsung's SSD has the lowest score..but still faster than intel?
    n MtronPro is the fastest?I have never heard of this brand before..

    These are Samsung SLC drives, from what I've read.

    After delaying and going without a laptop for months (sold my 4-yr-old T41), this was the opportunity I've been waiting for. Just jumped on a T400, with:
    T9400,
    64GB SLC,
    LED-backlit screen w/ camera,
    2GB (1 stick),
    discrete graphics,
    bluetooth,
    AT&T 3G card,
    6-cell battery (should be plenty),
    3-year warranty with accidental damage protection.

    All of this, for $1436.20 with CPP. Regular price (as if anyone would ever pay it) is shown at $2607.00. If you've been waiting for an SSD, this is definitely the time to buy. With all the other discounts and current pricing available, I doubt it can get much better.

    Someone in the other thread has confirmed that Lenovo is no longer using SLC SSDs for the T series. Samsung MLC drive is still pretty good, probably not as good as Intel MLC, but a lot cheaper.
