[ubuntu-us-ma] SSD in regular laptop? or Accelerometer?

[gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org (Jerry Feldman)]

I'm seeing 128GB drives in the $400 range and 256GB drives in the $600 -
$800 range. Newegg has free shipping and their standard shipping usually
arrives in the Boston are overnight. I think we will see the prices come
down, but not nearly competitive with mechanical drives.
