This might be true. And it might be also true that these don't support
the TRIM command (which Lion will use) and finally make the OS search
endlessly for some left-over blocks in disk to save the large PDF
output. (Ever encountered when your set-top box with disk recording
reaches the state of almost no disk space left?)
I am also considering to buy a MacBook Pro. I tend to prefer the
faster 500 GB disk – and 8 GB of RAM. Half the disk could be cached!
No swapping virtually needed. (And these 4 GB RAM don't cost that
much. Two TV instead of restaurant dinners.)

Some day we may discover how to make magnets that can point in any
direction.
