My nearly decade-old laptop, with a crappy Chinese brand of PATA SSD
blows away my i7 desktop which has a fast HDD and 12GB of RAM when it
comes to emerge --sync and portage searches. Not to mention the laptop
boots to graphical login prompt in less than 5 seconds after I choose
Linux in the GRUB menu. Less heat and power usage, too.
So I think any modern computer with modern SSD should really fly. :)
