I'm definately getting one, but I'm not sure if I should spend the extra money for the options. There are 2 options. One is to upgrade from 1.6 to 1.8 GHz for $299, and the other is to go from the 80 GB 4200 RPM hard drive to the 64 GB SSD and that costs $999.

Has anyone here used a computer (or own one) that has a SDD hard drive? Is boot time really that much better? If there is really a very significant difference in performance, I may go for the SSD. Not really sure that $299 warrants the 12% jump in processor performance though.
