I was looking at ssds for my laptop around the middle of last year. My choices were restricted to Intel, Samsung or crucial due to a slim bay. I ended up picking the Intel, but here's a summary of what I found:
Intel: good but expensive
Samsung: good apart from the massive power consumption (many saw it use twice as much power as other ssds)
Crucial: avoid. Very unreliable, some even had them fail, got them replaced and failed again in the same year.

My EeePC 701 is in almost exactly the same condition as when it was "new". I
got it at a discount because someone had returned it due to a stuck pixel, it
was in almost factory condition then and hasn't worn much since. There are
some scratches on the case (including some relatively deep ones that indicate
it has survived some punishment) and the space bar is a little shiny from my
thumb. But I didn't use it for the demanding writing I do on my laptop which
wears the tops off keys.

A quick review of product specs shows that the Macbook Air is a Netbook and
that the market for small and light devices with hardware keyboards hasn't
gone away. See the above URL for more of my thoughts on that issue.
