I'll probably get a 160 down the road and swap out the optical drive.
Dell uses Samsung SSDs IIRC (probably the same ones as Apple uses).

I don't believe they're on the level of a Sandforce or Crucial performance-wise but from what I've heard they're about on par with the Intel X-25 G2 with better writes. Which is to say, still blazing fast. But it will probably be cheaper to buy your own at retail.
