Here is a 128 gig solid-state memory drive for your laptop.

I think it cost with tax over 4 thousand dollars.

But in a few years, it will be in mainstream laptops.

The advantage will be faster access to computer files like big photos, and
more durability like when you bang your laptop into something.

I am thinking it will be easier to have multiple memory drives in your laptop.
For example, it might be inexpensive to have two 64 gig memory drives.
One for running windows applications and one for storing movies, photos,
music, encyclopedia, data, etc.

There are already a few laptop manufacturers doing this:

http://www.apple.com/macbookair/
http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/System_Drives/productdetail.aspx?c=usl=ens=dhscs=19sku=341-5582

Pricey right now, but you are right David, this will be mainstream
soon, good for battery life and speed.
