    Default Mini 5101 with the SSD option

    Hi all,

    Has anyone yet had their hands on a 5101 with the 128Gb SSD option? I'm seriously considering ordering one but I'd like to know first if there are any drawbacks about it (other than price). I'm out to get the best performing netbook I can.

    Specifically what model is the SSD, performance vs the 7200rpm HDD's and any effect it has on performance of the 6 cell battery?

    Thanks for any help!

    Besides the obvious high price, the SSD will run cooler, silent, and probably a bit faster than a 7200 RPM HDD.

    It will probably save some energy as well (maybe 20-30 min. additional battery life at best).
