Vertex

Last week we looked at the ASUS U30Jc and found a lot to like… so much that we awarded it a Bronze Editors' Choice. The stock configuration comes with a conventional hard drive, but SSDs are all the rage these days. What happens to performance when you install a decent SSD, like a 120GB OCZ Vertex? We happened to have one waiting for just such a test, so here are the updated results. Hint: it's a lot faster, at least when the HDD is the bottleneck.
