But at the cost of extra heat. You want a notebook with a good fan, if you're upgrading the HDD like that. There goes the quite operation requirement.

I have heard that the more recent, 320GB+ 5400rpm drives are faster than the old 5400rpm drives, due to tech improvements.

Been using my ASUS for a few days and Im pretty impressed with how quickly it wakes from sleep, almost instantly, and how long the battery lasts. No SSD here.

I also have a 2006 Dell inspiron. I think i paid around 5-600 for it and its still kicking. My P is a bit stuck and my wireless card stopped working this year, but other than that i haven't had any issues. Just got a usb wireless thing at walmart for $10 and all is fine now

Anything but HP. Had two of them, and they were the most shitty manufactured POS's i've ever laid hands on. Everyone I know who has had one has had them fall apart, especially the connector for the power cord.
Now I have a Toshiba Sattelite, I like it. But its just for web surfing. I have a desktop I use a lot more, but its a high end gaming rig.

The power connector breaking I believe has to do more with people that jamb tye connector in too hard. Probably the same people that slam doors.
