Actually the SSD is nowhere as big yet as the mechanical drives are. The SSD
is much faster and less moving parts and much more reliable now. Why do you
think Apple has them in the Mac Book air, Offer them in their desktops even
the Mac mini and in the Mac Book pros. They have flash drives which is
basically a ssd drive on board in all there IOS devices. That is why they
are so fast and reliable. So think you have it backwards. JMT and JMO

I still want a mack book pro as I don't trust solid state drives. All they
are are huge fjash drives that are waiting to die a violent death. and I
want a 500 gig ssd drive and I won't be able to get that in an air.
Take care.

You can get an Air for the same price as the old Mac Book, and it's a much
better system now. Mike's podcast was prior to Apple's complete overhaul of
the Mac Book Air at the same time Lion was released.

Mike Arrigo says on a podcast of his that it is 64GB which is not alot. Im
comparison I wonder how much the Mac book had before apple discontinued it.

hear I invite people to make there own theories and ideas that apple decided
to stop the mac book line. Because as a consumer that was going to be the
Mac that I would buy but since that's no longer around then I would proably
go for the Mac Book Pro option.
