1) sick & tire playing star craft at half screen
2) can't play wc3x
3) GMA 500 in general is 100% useless, even with the latest crappy new drivers
4) 4200RPM hd is slow
5) un osx-able I been at it.... forever
6) LCD CCFL screen (the mini 10v is too so ****)
7) 1 freakin mono-tone speaker
8) huge ass touchpad that affects my typing
9) I'll come up with these later
10) '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''

You should consider a SSD hard drive as a upgrade, it really gives the 10v a performance boost.

hey man.. I sold the mini 12 and im moving to the 10v also. I gave up on getting OSX to work efficiently on the 12. When I get my 10v im gonna put osx on it fo sho. Seriously the 12 blows. They didn't even put the shift all the way accross. and yes, the monotone speaker in the 12 blows, my cell phone's speakers are louder and better quality.

I got the same setup but with 6 cell. Need the battery life man. It was the same price, but tax and the recycling fee made it a bit more expensive.

Perhaps I should had reconsider it, but I need the space. OSX/Win 7 isn't going to fit on a 16GB SSD .

What's the lifespan of an SSD? I have a few flash drive die and write start to slow after 6 months... That kinda scared me away.

Lots of good tips to extend the life of SSDs and information right here.

I personally believe the SSD can last much longer than traditional platter HDs, but in general, if they both survive the first year of use (over that hurdle of manufacturer defect), you're sure to get great use of either for several years.

Now flash drives are cheaper than SSDs for a reason. They are two different flash animals, it seems to me. I would expect a $20, 8GB thumb drive to fail far sooner than an 8GB SSD. Manufacturing processes and design are just different - and meant for different application on a computer. Casual storage is one thing. Constant read and write is another. I don't think you can equate failures of thumb flash drives to SSD failures.
