    I'm about to order a Toshiba M200 tabletpc with the new 2.0ghz Dothan CPU.

    I'm wondering which HD to get? Oddly, they have either a 60GB 7200rpm or a larger 80GB but at 5400rpm.

    I guess it's more storage+slow vs. less storage+faster? I've read that the biggest bottleneck in Dothan notebooks is the HD. Is there much difference in speed between the 2 HD options?

    This is a generic question, but if you want to talk more tablet, go to our our tablet site, www.bargaintabletpc.com

    I would upgrade to the 7200 if you have the money. Unless you're doing a lot of media work, you'll be hard pressed to fill the 80 anyway.
