and a bunch of other older laptops.

HP 8540p i7/4gb/ocz vertex with a cracked screen.

HP 8560w with qc sandybridge 8gb and the same SSD in july-ish, soon as they are released in canada.

work laptop, but its basically my personal laptop as well, no resctrictions etc.

the vertex3 is just ballin'

... is it that much faster than the other ones right now? quite a price premium
it would be cool if the laptops sata ports run at 6gbps now

14" lenovo thinkpad

1080p LED screen
Backlit keyboard

Best laptop I've owned, love the 1920x1080 res for development - I have no clue how people use the smaller resolutions.

Best laptop I've owned to date

Nice time to buy right now. Bought a T43 around 5+ years ago for 2k. Just bought a T410 recently for under 1k tax in.

I think the VTX3, or any SSD for that matter is a very worthy investment on your computer be it laptop or desktop.

To give you an idea, it used to take about 50sec to boot up on the stock spinner and about 12sec on the vertex3. As for application start, you go from 3~5sec each to basically instantaneous. I have about 25 apps in my MBP and if I run the start command to load everything right after the OS is loaded, it takes about 20sec to have all the windows open from "gong" of MBP start sound.

This alone are worthwhile IMO. And I do some video editing for my friend on his footage from Canon 5DII. I can have 4 streams of 1080P videos simultaneously and no lag. If you work heavily with video or even photos (my entire LR3 library can be loaded under 5sec, and it's about 18GB of those that I keep in my SSD) I think Vertex3 is probably the best drive money can buy now. No other SSD, with the exception of some PCI-E based SSDs come anywhere close to the Vertex3.

With the SATAIII on new MBP, it's 500+MBs goodness!! :D

Better yet if you are on desktop. My friend has 2 Vertex3 240GB in Raid0 for his system drive. It breaks 1GBps in some benches.... yes, one GIGABYTES per second.

WOW

i have a x25 in the older mb. but having SATAIII in the newer ones, or the desktop is just insane. good stuff.
