I've been working with a 15" MBP for the past couple of years. I recently swapped out the standard hard drive for a Kingston HyperX SSD (it was about $200 for 120 gigs) and it has literally changed my life. I finally have a responsive computer :) Maybe Kingston SSDs aren't the most performant, but I can't imagine anything better at this point.

> I can't imagine anything better at this point Swap out your optical drive for a second SSD/a massive HDD. I did that with a OWC DataDoubler and it's a brilliant experience: most apps and OS on SSD load in a blink, while data lives on the HDD to avoid heavy writes knackering the SSD prematurely (because it lacks TRIM)
