Heya,
I'll try and keep this one simple. Just as with the last-generation PowerBooks, the MacBook Pro offers two different-speed hard drive configurations at 100 GB. I'm wondering (price aside) whether something speaks for the 5400 RPM version. Specifically, I'm curious whether heat and battery life play a role. A 7200 RPM obviously spins faster (duh), thus theoretically producing more heat and requiring more power. So, thing is, does this become a problem? Or is the drive, at the same time, significantly more efficient too? For general use, which should I pick?
