Dell Releases Flash-Based Laptops

Posted by Zonk on from the welcome-to-the-world-of-tomorrow dept.

joetheprogrammer writes "Dell has announced that they are going to offer a special configuration option with its Latitude D420 laptop that will allow users to swap clunky old HDs in favor of a 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drive. The only hitch comes with the price tag, which is set at a rather expensive price of $549. This will definitely ensure the laptop is set for a very high-profile consumer. 'The 1.8-inch 32GB SanDisk SSD, which SanDisk announced in January, increases performance by as much as 23 percent and is three and a half times less likely to fail when compared with HDDs currently available for the Latitude line, Dell said. The drive, currently available in North and South America, costs $549 -- on par with the 32GB drive Sony is offering exclusively in Japan for the Type-G Vaio. SanDisk will expand SSD availability to Europe and Asia in the near future.'"

    32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives can kill anyone they want! 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives cut off heads ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drive who was eating at a diner. And when some dude dropped a spoon the 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drive killed the whole town. My friend Mark said that he saw a 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drive totally uppercut some kid just because the kid opened a window.

    And that's what I call REAL Ultimate Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If you don't believe that 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives have REAL Ultimate Power you better get a life right now or they will chop your head off!!! It's an easy choice, if you ask me.

    32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. I can't believe it sometimes, but I feel it inside my heart. These guys are totally awesome and that's a fact. 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives are fast, smooth, cool, strong, powerful, and sweet. I can't wait to start yoga next year. I love 32GB SanDisk Flash hard drives with all of my body (including my pee pee).
