    What's the boot time like for the non SSD TZ?

    I hear so much about the SSD you'd think the 4200 rpm versions didn't exist.

    Someone out there must have the standard 100 gig hard drive.

    In this review, they did tests between the two and the results were:

    100GB 4200 rpm: 54 seconds
    32 GB SSD: 34 seconds

    I should say, these results were after they cleaned out all the craplets that were installed:

    "Once we cleared out the crap, the boot time decreased from more than a minute and a half to less than a minute."
