Dell First: 256GB Solid-State Drive on Laptops

Dell is doing its part to usher in the age of the super-sized solid-state drive. For the first time, Dell laptops can be configured with the newest large-capacity SSDs from Samsung.

The Samsung SSD is now available as an option on Dells XPS M1330 and M1730 laptop lines. Apple announced a 256GB SSD option on its MacBook Pro on January 6.

Dell added a 256GB solid-state drive option to its XPS M1330 and XPS M1730 laptops

According to Dell, upgrading from the base XPS configuration with the 256GB SSD will add $400. And Dell said the SSD will "be available on additional laptops in the coming weeks."

Solid-state drives are generally faster at getting data than hard-disk drives (and in some cases, much faster), but pricing is a hurdle for consumers.
