notebook with solid-state drive

Now that 1GB flash memory drops to HK$80, I learn that notebook PC manufacturers have started to produce solid-state drive based notebook PC. I don't need to much storage, just 32GB will be OK. What can I expect in performance boost. On the whole, I can think of faster boot up, read/write hundred times faster, higher durability, shock proof, less noise, less weight and less power consumption on the notebook.
