Yes. Speed is about the same and they are cheaper. They are MLC... NO... AND if so, how about reliability? Fast and cheap and having to backup your SSD every day are fine if your into that... not me... ;-) I have read too many negative stories on MLC drives and the premium on the Intel X-25E

I run a MacBook Pro 17" early 2008... Core2 Duo CPU with a 7200RPM Seagate HDD but the primary and secondary SATA controllers are held back to 1.5 and 1.0 Gb/s respectively from 3.0 Gb/s on later models. The stock system is OK but not great for development so I supercharged it :-) About a mont

I'm happy with a Thinkpad t410, 4GB RAM, Intel Core i7 M620 and a OCZ Vertex 2 SSD. If you want to have fun, use a fast SSD for OS and your workspace - Backup on a daily basis(!). I promise you: If you ever developed webapps on a SSD you will never develop using a HDD again. If you have to switch

I have a Dell laptop I picked up early last year at Staples for under $700. It has 4GB RAM, Core i5 and 18" screen. (The wide screen is great for an IDE.) It has worked very well for my Eclipse development. I even run a Linux VM (VirtualBox, 512MB RAM) as a database server during development. -Ben
