    For a T60, lenovo offers only a 100gb in 7200. And it wants $100 more than same in 5400. That's a steep price difference. I hate to not get a 7200 drive though because I've always seen firsthand that 7200 decreases boot time etc.

    Notebook 7200 rpm drives are expensive. Lenovo aren't the only ones charging quite a lot for them.
