Cheapest way to get a laptop w/ SSD?

So my last laptop just got stolen so now I'm in the market to purchase a new one. With SSD's it seems that they increase OS boot time substantially so that is why I am interested in getting one. The only downside it seems is the price and availability of different laptops that use one, so I was just wondering can you upgrade most laptops with an SSD? I was looking and found that the Dell Mini 9 uses a PCIe slot that can be upgraded with a certain type of SSD, but I am in the market for a 12-13'' laptop so I am not really interested in the Mini. And even if I could get like a 16GB SSD just to put the OS I would be fine with having a slower, larger, HDD.

So, does anyone know what the cheapest route would be to get a 12-13'' laptop that I could put an SSD in? I'm mostly comfortable with purchasing another Dell laptop, but if there are other options I'm open to them as well.

Thanks for any and all help!

Actually an SSD would DEcrease boot time, no INcrease it.

Even the cheapest model here has an option for an SSD.

Okay thanks for all the help guys, so if I understand it correctly most common laptops on the market come with the controller necessary to run that intel 80gb drive? Also, if I that drive will I have to carry it around as an external drive all the time? And I'll mainly be using this laptop for nothing more than internet usage / maybe some movie watching on trips.

Thanks again for the help

For your usage, a mid range Laptop (approx $500 to $600) would be fine. Replace the internal HDD with the Intel SSD (approx $260->280). NOT Needed if not planning on watching blu-ray, But for an additional $100 you can replace the DVD writer with a Blue-ray reader/DVD writer. NOTE for Blu-ray disk you will need a High def player software.

This is what I did to a Toshiba A305 series laptop. Removed HDD and put it into a esata encloser (You do not need to cary with you on travel), Installed a Patriot Torqx 128 gig SSD, Installed Windows 7 - NO Drivers needed. Removed the DVD writer and installed a Sony BC-5600 Blue ray drive. Note: only reason for the Blu-ray drive is that my son has a hugh collection of Blu-ray DVDs

Look for a laptop that says it uses a SATA drive - that will be compatible with the Intel SSDs and pretty much other SSD being made today. I'd be very, very surprised if you could find a laptop with a hard drive that isn't SATA.

You'll probably have to buy an external enclosure for the drive, and you'll have to make sure that the laptop you buy (and the enclosure) have eSATA ports.

There's a difference between using SATA for the internal drive and having a port on the outside of the laptop to connect an external drive. Pretty much all laptops have an internal SATA connection, but I wouldn't assume they have an external (eSATA) one.
