    You can install an SSD yourself.

    Like Rachel said these things were just released. I don't think people even have them in hand yet. Wait a few weeks for reviews and impressions to trickle in and try to find one of these in the stores and see for yourself.


    On a somewhat related note, I'm tying this message on my 5 year old C-Series and it's a very solid built computer. I found my C to be a good entry level Sony computer at the time and now it has been relegated to download duties. The SSD in this computer boots up faster than my Z! lol

    that's because the RAID drivers take forever to POST... ><. Sigh... my zippy hardware slowed because of darn slow software...

    although thank god i don't experience 25+ blinks like some other people had a while back.

    still considring the choice between 14' 900x1600 and 15' 1080x1920
    was amazed when i saw the battery life is the same

    and with possibilty of slice battery like the EA series... this can be really amazing deal
