    1. They are charging $150 to upgrade from 5400 rpm hd to 7200 rpm hd, i am wondering how easy it is to swap your own hard drive into the e1505 if it turns out that the 5400 rpm is too slow?
    2. I've never really used anything less than 7200 rpm because this will be my first laptop, but I was wondering if it will be fast enough to play games?

    1) Yes
    2) Yes

    Try it and see...the best a 7200 will get you is a slightly better load time AFAIK.
