Maybe. I recently gave my 2007 MBP a new life by putting a Corsair SSD in it. This thing is as fast as a new MBP! I saved heaps of money and it rocks. Although, the battery lasts 12 mins from full charge. :)

I'd love if macs were not so designed to 'throw away and buy new'. That's just the steve way though.

I'm also getting less enthusiastic about new gadgets. I'm noticing that my desire for hardware updates is getting further and further apart.

That might be because I'm getting older, or because the difference from one generation to the next is less impressive than it used to be, or both...

But SSD, yes, that's one development I wouldn't want to be without. The speed up is incredible. I'm thinking of retrofitting my "ancient" laptop with one.
