it would be cool if the laptops sata ports run at 6gbps now | 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!!

At the end of last summer, they were offering an hp laptop for 399.99 , i got that
HP G62-228CA
3gb ddr3 ram
320gb 7200rpm harddrive
AMD P320 Dual Core processor 2.10GHz
I love it, it was super cheap and works well for the things I need it for. I might upgrade to a i7 with blu ray by the end of the year.
