The very same Toshiba SSDs that Apple uses in its MacBook Airs are now being offered to other companies who may or may not be green-eyed with envy at the slinkiness of the Airs.

Dear Lifehacker, I’m considering ordering a MacBook Pro with a solid-state drive. Is it really worth it to dish out the extra few hundred bucks for one?
It’s a world record, this time in the “smallest SSD” category. Available in 4GB to 64GB capacities, SanDisk’s integrated iSSD is destined for tablets and really, really slim laptops.
