    SSD is so expensive...and the capacity is also limited at the moment.

    See the following article at Lenovo Blogs:
    http://lenovoblogs.com/insidethebox/?p=96

    No definite answer, but an interesting article nonetheless.

    I personally think that SSDs will soon be introduced to ThinkPads.

    I called lenovo today.... the sales person didn't know what SSD is, not did he know what flash drive is nor did he know what Solid state drive is.

    Grrr..............

    When SSDs exceed 80gb then you'll find them everywhere

    60GB is enough (if not plenty) for most uses.

    it depends on what products you have. My OS plus layered products requires 30 GB. I keep my system partition at 100 GB. Then I have a number of other partitions and code. I wouldn't want an SSD with much less than 160 GB.

    My desktop uses 15K rpm server disks and real estate on them is expensive. They are each 140 gb. They have lots of reserve space on them and I value them because they are fast and do have more room than I need because that will give my system room to grow. I could live with 140 GB but I don't like to begin with a limited system.
