    I see that only 60 and 80 GB is offered. Anyone know if you can put in 120 GB drive (5400 or 7200 RPM). Years ago I swapped a 10 GB 4200 RPM drive on my ancient ThinkPad to a 5400 RPM and it drained the battery within 5 minutes and made occasional clicking sounds. I used the same hard drive on another ThinkPad of the same model and it did the same thing. I rather not repeat that experience again if I buy this model.

    I've heard of a few reports of people doing that without complaints.
