| Anonymous Coward User ID: 4239460 United States12/25/2012 07:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yep, thanks. Will the 7200rpm HDD (if I put it in) run cooler and run the battery down less, or more? I'm not sure, not really a computer genius I've just built a few computers and have a basic understanding of hardware that I got from the internet lol. You could go to like a pc help forum to find smart people. |

Even if I put the 7200rpm HDD and WIN 7 OS, I will still come in $400 under the Mac Book Pro. Have a bigger screen, and use the same programs as I have now, but less battery life. Not bad I recon. |

It also won’t get as hot as the faster one. 5400 rpm drives have two advantages ... use less power and cheaper.....downside, slower. |

| SE7EN (OP) User ID: 30769075 Australia12/25/2012 07:26 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The 7200rpm internal drive is NOT significantly faster than the stock 5400rpm when doing small RANDOM reads and writes. That implies that it won't give you much advantage for booting and normal operations. 7200 rpm drives are faster, but also are more battery intensive. |
