yea, but for the price difference, and how small externals are these days.... sif it's worth the extra. I'd rather just leave an external plugged in... even if you have to move around, it's not a big deal. did you happen to watch the youtube video and see the advantage in speed? i can't see the video at work, so i'm going off the article fuck the article, it's fairly boring and doesn't tell the full story. watch the video and see the boot time, and the load times when they open 44 programs at once.
