Okay, I'm going to finally order my new MBP tonight. However, I'm now torn on the 5400rpm/7200rpm issue with the hard drive.
I'd like to get the 7200rpm one for performance, but I've been reading horror stories from people who bought theirs earlier this summer that have the click/beep/freeze problem. I know Apple released a firmware update to address this, but I don't believe it fixed everyone's issues.
Does anyone know if this issue is in the past for current new MBP purchases? If anyone has bought a 15" with a 500MB/7200rpm drive recently, I'd love to hear your experiences.
If there's a risk of this issue, I may try to stay safe and go with the 5400rpm.
Thanks!
