    The 5400rpm drives effect will only be felt in loading times. Once loaded there shouldnt be any big differences.

    As far as the chipset is concerned according to HP "if the fourth through sixth digits of the serial number are "108" or numerically higher, your HP notebook does not have the affected Intel chipset. No further action is necessary."

    The one you have says 118...so it shouldnt be impacted by the recall.
