Samsung first to offer SSD laptops

Samsung’s new Q30 will hold the honor of being the first Solid State Disk (SSD) laptop in the world. The Q30 SSD is hoped to usher in a new generation of laptops that have a much higher performance rate than its hard drive-based counterparts. The SSD has read/write performance figures of 53MB/s and 28MB/s, which are 300% and 150% faster than hard drives respectively. A SSD-based laptop has numerous advantages such as lower power consumption, greater durability, a smaller size, quieter operation, and a much faster speed. The rest of the Q30 SSD’s specifications include a 12.1″ display, an Intel GMA 900 graphics chipset, and an Intel Celeron M753 1.2GHz processor.
