Ideal, but as the motherboard is in excess of £300, I think i wont be seeing that anytime soon. I agree with Faye, I'm fed up with laptops that dual boot as weightlifting equipment. As for the solid state storage that seems to be increasing in size every few months, so maybe something useable is coming in the near future. I love the idea of the instant on access of the Asus Linux motherboard too.
