The key points of the article is wrong. Technologies evolve and become cheaper to be used by masses. First it is used for early adaptors, in use cases where millions don't matter. In years it can be Aunt Tillie's(tm) fibre connection to the internet, because everybody hates those one-time-password-generators.
Hmm... I just got my mom a Dell with such a SSD.
32 GB is more than than she needs for Word/Excel and this is a one-save-per-minute load.

XP starts up faster as on a Desktop HDD
Wakeup from hibernation is about 6 sec
during work, you hear -- nothing.

That ice ist not at all clean. Clean water ice is transparent and colorless. White ice has at least gas bubbles in it (center of ice cubes) or is sintered from crystals (glacier). In both cases you won't see the sand because the ice is not transparent.
Crystallization leads to clean substances. It is used in chemistry for this purpose. Remember the layer of ice on muddy puddles in winter; it's always clean.
