 It's starting. As promised, SSDs are finally beginning to find homes in small, ultra-portable notebooks. Enter Sony's VAIO G, now available with an optional 32-Gbyte Solid State Drive. The Type G weighs in at feather like 1.89 pounds (with a small form factor battery) and will last you a little over 6 hours. Use the standard battery and you double that time at the cost of about .10 pounds. But as we all know, flash storage ain't cheap. If you go the SSD route, expect to pay close to $550 more than the 40-Gbyte HDD version ($1,926, total). The Type G is also going to be decidedly ho-hum in terms of power, with only a Core Solo U1300, an Intel 945GMS Express chipset for the graphics, and just 1.5-Gbytes of DDR2 RAM.
Apple, we're waiting for your answer.
