[QUOTE="Kash, post: 656462, member: 23444"] Since it's such a thin laptop, a 3mm height difference is a pretty big deal. Did a search and found that the 12.5mm drives will only fit in the 17" model. For the 15" model you absolutely need a 9.5mm drive. Further research has shown that 9.5mm 500GB drives should be out really soon. Samsung announced a 9.5mm 500GB drive a while ago and reports show that it was "released" in late March, but evidently has yet to show up in stores. I'm sure if you wait around a little longer you'll be able to get your hands on a 9.5mm 500GB drive. [/QUOTE]
