And Judge, I have to disagree with you regarding a 7200 HDD using up 40-50% more power. That is completely not the case and is complete bullshit. At most a 7200 HDD would cut your battery life by a few minutes over a 5400. Laptops use 5400 as its just been a typical 'standard'. They're also cheaper hence the decent pricepoint.
Thanks for the info, I'm cool with a standard deal. Good point on the external deals, but I was living with a 40 gig on my old model and doing fine. I don't play any PC games or run anything too extreme (like editing videos for example) so I think any route I went would have been fine for the work I do.
