Samsung announced that it would begin mass production of its lightning fast 64GB SATA II solid-state drives as an available option in Dell and Alienware laptops.
This announcement comes hot off the heels of the recent release of the MacBook Air, one of the few laptops that include SSD as an available factory-installed option. The 64GB SSD option on the MacBook Air tacked on a whopping $1000 to the price tag.
Anyone that has taken an entry level economics course understand that an increase in supply can potentially drive costs and therefore prices down. So go on, Samsung! Churn out the SSDs with all of your heart and might so the very attractive and elusive SSD option in laptops will become more than a $1000 fantasy.
