Yeah, I went for the indilinx controller which I've been happy with but had little choice due to 1.8"uSATA.

Sorry, the MBP time was supposed to be short. I.e. win7 SSD = Lion HDD

Sorry if I was misleading!

I've got a couple of Linux systems and tried lots of distros butI am now at the stage after using and administering a variety of systems from Dos, RiscOS, Windows 3.11-7 Ultimate Redhat, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Yellow Dog, HPUX, Solaris, Novell. etc etc

Some good bits, some bad bits but now I can't be arsed and just want a computer that works and that I don't have to apply/tweak/uinstall updates etc.

I Applaud Linux for the community feel (admittedly can be a little l337 and unwelcoming initially for Windoze noobs).

I pillory M$ for their odd fear of IP theft which leads to lots of groups of programmers all seeing a tiny piece which is then stitched together by another blinkered programmer into a huge ugly bloated patchwork quilt.

Apple have their faults but API control, secure code and smooth bottleneck free interoperability, a fantastic disk journal system, long battery life, fast boots, minimal updates FTW.

Imagine this:

Arrive home, want to look at something online.

Open laptop, press power button. Log in, browse.

Done =bliss.essential even the 6 seconds it take for my MBA to be ready to roll, still that's not a problem now with the iPad!

Sounds like you're on the right track, except no need to even touch the power button with Mcbook Air. As a Mac convert I r

One point; for all my weariness with this shaight- without these rubbish systems it would be a lot harder to charge as much for systems support!!

Hi David,

Yeah I'm leaning towards the new iPad (as well :-s)

Played with one the other night and as you say browsing is immediate!

WANT!
Lol. how do you find the new one?

If they had a real full blown word processor ( that can handle citations etc ) for the ipad and a decent means to transfer files to and from it ( It would be good if you could set aside a set amount of space as a mountable usb device to put files into which the ipad could then read/write from ) ... then my next machine owuld be an ipad.

Until then, i'm sticking with a laptop. Although I too think my next machine will be mac. V8 or else ...

Windows...oh dear Land Rover Addict
