MacBook Air: In a Word, Impressive

"In speed, the real virtue is the flash based hard drive. With no moving parts it boots incredibly quickly. ... And for those wanting, solid state drives are available too."

Actually, the drive it ships with is a conventional (low rpm) hard drive (same as in the iPod classic), so it will likely seem sluggish. Only the $1,000 optional solid state drive is flash-based.
