The Lenovo I'm looking at has an SSD 128GB, but there is a 17 inch
version that is even more badass.

My ASUS Eee-PC has an SSD drive.  The only moving part on the machine is 
the fan for the CPU.

I think the future is clearly in SSD, once they get over the 
manufacturing quality control issues and have more capacity. SSDs are 
durable, fast, quiet, run cool:

That's the speed that the hard drive spins. 7200 RPM hard drives store
and retrieve data quicker than 5400 RPM hard drives.

I have a Lenovo stinkpad.  I like it fine.  It is durable and travels
everywhere, getting banged around.  I have gone through cow boxes,
Dells, and HPs, none have been as durable as the IBM/Lenovo machines.  

But they are also a bit expensive.  

What do you mean by 7200rpm?
