If you’ve been considering the benefits of a flash-based solid-state disk (SSD) drive—no moving parts, low power requirements, fast startup and wake times—but haven’t been sure about installing one as a drop-in replacement for an existing hard drive, then Transcend Information may have the solution for you in the form of is 32 GB ExpressCard/34 SSD.

The drive can be connected directly to ExpressCard-equipped notebook computers, and offers full support for Windows Vista and ReadyBoost (the drive can also be used with Mac OS X 10.4 or newer, or LInux Kernel 2.4 or later). Plus, the drive comes with a USB 2.0 adapter, so users can plug it into a desktop system or other computer as a USB storage device. The drive weighs just 19 grams and can operate at temperatures all the way from freezing (32°F) to way-too-hot (158°F).

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report.
