- Perhaps people don't want to add a $600-1000 to their laptop for only up to 128 GB of storage? SSD's have their place, but spinning platters aren't going anywhere soon simply based on raw economics.

- 'cause it'll take a while for SSD prices to fall that far, even at the rate that they're going. in case you haven't noticed, a 64gb drive is still about $1000. Plus, by the time those get cheap enough to be viable, i bet that you'll be able to get terabyte hdds for the same price.
