    Since 5400rpm harddrives in laptops don't effect the performance compared to a 7200rpm harddrive in games, how would it be comparable to autodesk programs? Would there be a difference in performance between the two?

    I think autodesk is about ram and cpu.

    Dude, you still have to check. This is a primarily gaming forum. All regards to need of hardware will most likely be discussed as pertaining to gaming. As such, you'll see a lot of people saying to get the t8100 as a processor and no problems when the t9300 will clearly give better performance for autocad, modeling and video editing.

    In fact, its better to get the 7200 drives for video editing, I would recommend the internal 320gb 7200 for that too.

    Dude, a faster HDD = faster load time, whether it`s a game, pr0n, autodesk apps, etc.
