AnandTech - "While 2009 may end up being the first year that we see widespread adoption of SSDs (Solid State Drives) in notebooks, 2008 will go down as the year that it all started happening. My experience with a SSD on the MacBook Air was an overwhelmingly positive one. While most application usage performance didn't improve, boot and application start times were noticeably quicker.

Elevate your MacBook
ZDNet - "There's lots of ways to elevate an Apple notebook while you're sitting on the couch (I used to use a telephone book) but a desktop setting requires something a little more sophisticated. MacBooks, no matter the model, can get a little tepid when used for extended periods on your lap.
