[QUOTE="Zakie, post: 1077407, member: 127313"] My 13" mid 09 mbp is not up to task, sister could use a computer so this is a good time to buy myself a new one and maybe save a few hundred. Ive done lots of reading on the subject and have only confused myself more. With the latest generation HDD is 7200 worth it ? I am a mechanical engineering student in my 2nd year. Im learning CAD on Solidworks (windows based) and using the notebook as my main computer. I will be running everything through parallels. I want to make sure that my new machine will keep up with me till im out of school. I enjoy the portability of the macbook and use it in the field when repairing gas pumps at work. For the activities listed would i be better served with a 7200 rpm drive? Also is there any draw backs? Ive read lots of conflicting data. (BTW upgrade is 50$ from 500gb 5400 to 500gb 7200) Thanks for the help. [/QUOTE]
