I've seen SSDs perform faster than that, I mean the windows boot screen was there for 1-2 seconds where on the one I've seen before you didn't even seen it it was so quick

That would be nice to have, but not for a couple years, but flash memory is getting pretty cheap nowadays.

Also it would save on the battey time.

thats crazy fast, and crazy expensive.

Also it would save on the battey time.

not by much, current desktop HDD"s use 3-6 watts, i bet current laptops use less than that. SSD's would be less than 2 watts, but that doesnt make much of a difference.

what extends battery life is lower the cpu voltages.
