curiously, does anyone have more info on the ssd's that apple is using? brand, model, or even controller? do these new macbooks have sata 2 or sata 3? of course, that would only make a notable difference if the ssd's are new gen (which i doubt) or possibly c300 (also seems unlikely, but that's just an assumption). if these are respectably fast ssd's i wouldn't have *too* much of a problem dropping an additional $250 for a 128GB ssd preinstalled (assuming that the drives aren't user replaceable), considering that the base price of the MBP is $1200. a far better upgrade than the $200 they want to go from 4gb to 8gb ram, lol, silly apple. tricks are for kids!
