Google is requiring solid state disks.

There was an issue with early Intel X25-M G1 SSDs. They were non-bootable with Apple MacBooks. I have one and it was hell figuring out why it didn't work in a MacBook. It's been great in a ThinkPad.

From the other comments it seems the problem is actually that "Apply" is off the screen. Just tested 9.10 rc and it's still a problem. Hitting tab a couple times works, but that's not obvious once you've already switched.

ARM talked about the Cortex A9 (the one I'd actually like to have in a netbook) over two years ago. There is still nothing you can get that actually has one in it. Yay something to replace the ARM11. Hope it actually gets used.

Pick 640x480. Click Apply. Pick whatever you want to go back to. Click Apply.

I have an SSD from a T400S installed in a Fujitsu P1630. It's the Toshiba variety that's been shipping recently (looks like they started producing them in June).

Small random writes are fast, similar to the Intel X25-M. Sequential read is slower, but sequential write is usually faster than Intel's drives. Overall a very good SSD.
