[QUOTE="Shootist, post: 1376224, member: 232297"] As stated Flash storage is SSD. But in the Air it is not a typical SSD like you would buy from a reseller or manufacturer. It is actually just the Flash chips without case or typical/normal connectors as you find on all SATA devices. That is why you can never upgrade it. Same for the RAM. It is not the type that you can replace. Both are built into the motherboard in some way. For that reason I would never buy a Mac Air. Although I just looked at the new Dell XPS 13 Ultrabook. But I doubt I will be buying one. [/QUOTE]
