[QUOTE="kaidomac, post: 353072, member: 15110"] FYI :) [url]http://www.techspot.com/news/24631-seagate-presents-new-25%E2%80%9D-160gb-7200rpm-hdd.html[/url] Also a 7200rpm hard drive will only decrease your battery by about 5 minutes. There is the added heat factor, however. If you don't mind your left palm being a little bit more warm, then the upgrade is definitely worth it. Keep in mind that the MBP is very hard to get back together...I upgraded my brother's 15" with a 100gb 7200rpm and it was a real pain to put back together, and I do IT work at my job all day long.
