But yeah, I also looked at the OCZ and somehow... didn't feel like it. Didn't seem right somehow.

If you're looking for longer battery life, faster in booting up and shutting down and overall performance with less sound and less heat, then you can't, just can't, go wrong with one of those Intel SSDs. I have one in my desktop. Using my laptop is a painful experience.
In fact, your biggest worry should be mass storage.

I flashed my drive and installed new firmware that claims to fix those weird errors I been getting

Yeah, I did a lot of research before considering the intel ones. Going for either a 40/80GB one for later semesters. And yes, storage will be the biggest issue. Not to mention finding something to use for dedicated torrenting.
On another note... Windows 7 upgrade versions are fucking shitty. Had to order a copy of OEM because upgrade does not allow clean installs. (it's actually a fucking error code!)

This is why I no longer buy bleeding edge tech (like SSD). It's good, it's awesome and all -
But this kind of thing is inevitable.
You got expensive ass stuff that's half-ass. Then in a year or two a cheaper, perfected version of it emerges.

Fixed. Not only is it improved, it's (usually) cheaper (though you may have been implying that).
Kind makes it seem like everyone who buys something early just gets shafted. Doesn't seem smart to me. Then again, smarts don't factor linearly into the real world... maybe more like rand() function...
