    If a manufacturer does not specifically state that a notebooks hard drive speed is 5400RPM or 7200RPM then it is safe to assume it is 4200RPM. These are obviously cheaper hard drives and manufacturers favor them because most consumers are not savvy enough to know the difference between hard drive speeds, but they are savvy enough to see a price is lower on a notebook [ ;)]
