with SSHD do you mean the Solid State disks? I do have a laptop with a 128 GB SSD, might be worth hooking it up again and see how it works.
I was told that after a bit of usage it would start freezing up since it can't READ and WRITE at the same time, is that an evil rumor ?

I typically use the cord though I do unplug every so often. I will be looking into getting a external battery of some type soon. More than likely with my next upgrade order. My laptop peeve is how hot assorted ones get. My next one besides battery life must remain fairly cool on the bottom before adding another fan to it.

I was considering a Mac because of their stability and the batter life time, but I simply can't use a computer where I cant write my own commands, then I'd rather use Linux.

My asus 1005ha netbook claims 8 hours of battery life and I actually get about 6 or 7 out of it depending on what I do.

The Asus might be worth checking out, that's a long lasting battery
