The future of netbooks is definitely looking much brighter after Toshiba has announced that they will be making 256GB SSDs pretty soon. It will provide netbooks with a very compact storage solution that’s also faster and more reliable than the traditional spinning HDD. The largest capacity I’ve seen in a netbook so far is pegged at 200GB. So this new SSD that Toshiba will be making will also outclass its HDD counterpart in terms of storage as well. Now, doesn’t the sound of a 3G capable 256GB-packing Dell Inspiron Mini 9 sound truly enticing?
