Seems like I've been waiting on the i5/i7 refresh forever now, but since there is absolutely no hints from Apple as to when (and if) this refresh will ever happen, I am close to submitting and getting the core 2.
Concerning the hard drive speed. I am trying to get an idea of which hard drive speed to choose. The only 2 variables is the performance versus battery life. Based on my usage (which is just simple home use, nothing too demanding), can anyone help me to determine the thresh-hold between the speed gained from going 5200rpm to 7200rpm versus the battery life lost? Obviously the faster HD is more appealing, but how much battery time would I loose? The computer is a 15" MBP 2.8ghz. Thank you.
