    Yeah agreed my girlfreind got her self a Fujitsu laptop.... worst mistake ever, the top of the case has cracked 3times now and is currently back in the shop getting 'a new improved' casing they have brought out.... so finguers crossed.

    Im wanting to upgrade my laptop soon so a large selection of HDD's would be a nice start

    What do you think about 7200rpm HDD's for laptops? They seem to carry a heavy price tag per GB, and eats battery life, but with HDD's being the major bottleneck in notebooks, is the speed worth the cons?!

    Worth getting them in?

    Not sure, but there isn't much wrong with the speed of the one's now.

    Just that Fujitsu aren't known for reliable hard drives.

    And would love some bigger & smaller hard drives

    (Would prefere Seagate or Western Digital)

    looking for lowest power possible for mp3 players etc to give best battery life. I have looked on the web but most drives that say low power don't say what it is. The best I have seen is 1.6W when writing.
