It would help if the price falls started last year continued but some are even edging back up slightly now!

yeah there'll be some one some where trying to price fix these .. same as they do everything

Am looking forward to the SSD price wars starting up again!

SSDs are still not mainstream, when it comes to buying a new computer and I can no longer see a good reason for that.

A lot of new laptops now have mSATA capable mini-PCIe slots, so there is no longer the need to choose between a super fast SSD or a high capacity hard drive.

If PC World can retail an entry level 128GB 2.5" SATA SSD for £49.99 delivered, then surly Toshiba/HP/Asus should be able to add mSATA SSD + HDD equipped models to all their laptop ranges, even the sub £400 ones.

I'll grab an SSD at some point, but I think it has to get below the £100 for 240+Gb for me to go for it.

Ultrabook sales to double ssd sales?

Somehow I doubt it...the rise of the tablet is hammering their potential sales.
