But anything that brings solid state drives closer to market is worth notice, as solid state drives boot windows as much as five times faster and consume far less energy than traditional hard drives.

... there are some nice benefits of NAND for primary storage, its relatively low capacity leads people to buy secondary mechanical hard-drives with larger capacities. So if the notebook shipped with a 80GB or a 100GB mechanical notebook sized power-saving hard drive as standard, it won't be all that necessary for users to go and buy a 300GB or a 500GB external monster. Even if the external drive the users might buy are much smaller, the power consumption's going to be = (power for NAND flash drive) + (power for external drive), which will most definitely be more than it would be for a single internal standard notebook harddrive.
