I was talking to a Lenovo guy the other day and asked him when they would
start using flash instead of or together with ordinary disks and he answered
that it was already in the pipes and we would start seeing Flash hybrids
this year.

They have been doing it a long time in the pocket pcs so it is only natural
to have them in the PCs too.

Having the OS on a Flash and at least the paging swaps would make the
laptops less vulnarable to most of the diskproblems when the laptop is on
the move and the less the diskmovements are needed the better.

I would ask for Flash in a PC and of course as much RAM as possible.

Dan - I think you're paying up for using fewer chips - 4 vs. 8 DIMMs.
Perhaps this leaves slots free for further expansion?
