Finally, a laptop worthy of spoiled ITA instructors!

Fusion's iodrive

This new device (pics), a "PCI Express card with a controller and NAND flash chips," uses a PCI connection to attain super-fast transfer speeds (800 megabytes per second read and 600 MB/sec write) to a solid state (no moving parts )stroage medium. They're introducing it at 80GB, but will scale to 320 and 640 GB next year. I want one!
