I'm not really talking about $500 - or $15,000 - SSD's. What's wrong with putting a $100 SSD into a $200 laptop, especially when that SSD can be reused in a future machine? (Or putting a $200 SSD into a $500 G5, for that matter?) And especially if it lowers your stress level through longer laptop battery life, more quiet, no head crash at exactly the worst moment, and more speed that allows you to get more work done in less tme? This isn't just an academic exercise.
I consider a $250 or $500 Mac budget to be pretty low budget, especially after looking at recent Mac Pro prices. $500 can get you a lot of Mac now, especially if you invest some sweat equity, and know where to shop. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
