7200 RPM hard drives in laptops

[Gomer]

I know that Hitachi makes these drives... Just wondering if anyone knows what laptop manufactures are including them in typical laptop configurations.

That how you can kill a battery fast.

the 7200RPM in my desktop heats up alot. I wonder about the laptop version?

i have noticed that many manufacturers are offering it as an upgrade. check out dell, gateway, sager.

i upgraded to this drive, and have noticed considerable performace boost from a 20gb 4200rpm that i was running. haven't noticed any heat or battery life issues. as far as i am concerned it is as solid if not more so than my old drive.

Hitachi's 5400RPM laptop hard drives are very good. I recommend them.
