    I'm thinking of buying http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/pr...angid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10084216&catid=22496 and my main concern is the 200GB SATA 4200RPM. I looked on the internet to see how much it'd cost to get a another hard drive that is 5400RPM and found that some of the 4200RPM ones are just as expensive as the 5400RPM. Would anybody know why? And I do find it weird that the top p100 model available in Canada would have a 4200RPM instead of the 5400RPM, which the ma3 does have. So basically I'm just wondering if there's anything special about this particular hard drive. Thanks in advance.

    It's the biggest hard drive currently available in a notebook for whatever reason it's only 4200RPM. The next biggest hard drive is a 160GB model which is 5400RPM.
