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

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.
