Intel thinks it's time to take SSD mainstream, bundles it with Centrinos
SSDs are starting to make their big debut, and I for one welcome our new solid-state overlords. We’ve already seen these in a few high-end laptops and of course all those subnotebooks, but for the most part, mainstream laptops still rely on HDDs. It seems Intel is making a push this year to include SSDs in Centrino-based laptops, and although capacity and performance are becoming less of an issue with SSDs, the cost still places them pretty firmly in the mid range and high end.
