[QUOTE="adler, post: 399017, member: 31157"] I don't think you can compare a dell with the MBP... anyways... but I was also thinking of the 7200 with 100GB.. but what about an extra 60 gigs with the 5400... is it worth the sacrifice? Cuz people on laptops are always wanting more space..especially with video..but then I think these two cancell each other out. Because The 7200 rpms is fast for video, but then the 160 gig holds more video to edit.. so which do you go with? edit: I actually found a site that compared the 2.
