While solid state drives are very well suited for netbooks from a power efficiency viewpoint, they pose problems when it comes to capacity (and performance, but that's another matter). In order to combat this issue, MSI has launched a new netbook with a hybrid approach to storage: it has a solid state drive for the operating system and applications, and a conventional hard drive for storage.

"Except price. You want a faster SSD, you have to pay a higher price, which could push it out of the inexpensive range, and make it a poor seller. Anything over $300 is really hard to justify, even with such high portability, and if you're going to spend over $500, you may as well just get a laptop.
I see you're one of those people who are unable to see something with the size, portability, and price--yes price-- of these devices as anything other than a toy.
Too bad for you, you're going to be missing out on a lot of fun and useful stuff by persisting in this error. "
Nice try. See, I have an Asus eeePC 701, and use it just about everyday. It's quite a useful little thing. But there's no way I'd pay over $500 CDN for one, no matter how fast the CPU/SSD was.
