Don't mean to rain on anyone's parade, i still think SSDs are awesome but if Tom's Hardware is to be believed some of the excitement might just be hype.
Appears the energy savings are nonexistent. I'm sure this will be improved in the future though.

Im glad to see the prices are dropping though. I've been wanting an SSD for a while now.

Who cares about energy savings? Cheaper SSDs are great for high performance servers!

Plus a SSD in a laptop means that if you drop it, there's no head-crash possible
