    is it difficult to install a new hard drive in the m1330? is there a big difference between 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm hard drives? And, do all laptops use the same type of hard drive?

    it should be reasonable to install a harddrive

    it really depends on what your doing but i doubt there will be a significant difference

    for the m1330 you need to get the 2.5" HDs

    7200rpm is faster....therefore faster load times in games and maybe faster gameplay if the game relíes on the hard drive alot. However, in general you wouldnt ntice much difference.
