A couple of points overlooked in this teardown of Heins' article:

Chrome is slow?

It looks like current xbox/ps3 tech... I guess it is acceptable.

You can clone your odl drive over, but that is advised against. Why not enjoy the full experience of the speed of the SSD and put a fresh copy of your OS on? Its worth the time spent.

No moving parts, huge decrease in read/write times (vs slow laptop spinnies), lower power consumption.

mmm Maple Syrup...

As a fellow Canadian and BF3 player, I call BS on 'John from Canada'.

This mod is the shizznit thats why!

My 3 year old G73 will turbo a core from its 1.7ghz to 3...

I am no Apple fan by any means, but this beast of a laptop is awesome. Kudos to Apple! The best part of this: in about a year, this type of SSD tech and screen res. in laptops will be the norm! :)

Hah, exactly! ;)

It definitely couldn't handle a real winter, where temps drop below 0 C, and snow is everywhere!

Yeah, I can buy a 24" LED LCD for 160 bucks.. this smaller screen and keyboard should be waaay under 200. I am guessing though that it won't be :/

One could make a lucrative business over there, snapping up abandoned awesome cars and sneaking them out of the country!

Man that guy has craziest looking smile ever. Its almost like an asian Mike Myers...

me too!

For being labelled, 'ultra' I was expecting a quad core, at least 8gb of RAM, and a somewhat decent GPU solution while having a slim design. Instead these books are turning out to be just locked down laptops with a better battery.

Indeed, I don't think she wore (or was told to wear) that dress and present the gadget coincidentally.

I have Dark Knight 5.5 (ICS 4.0.4) on my Galaxy S Vibrant currently. It may be the best ROM I have ran yet.

Too bad North America only gets dual core :/
