MacBook Hard Drive Installation Vid
Not that anybody cares but I was curious how difficult it would be if I bought a MacBook Pro with 5400rpm drive and did the upgraded 7200rpm drive install myself. Looks pretty doable but I'd probably screw it up or at least cuss alot when I lost some screws.

Not spam for the website just thought the vid was informative:

did they make strides in laptop HD heat dissipation lately? I always thought a 7200 rpm HD would produce way too much heat for a laptop to deal with...no?

I'm glad to see 7200's in laptops, so i hope its just a case of me not being up to speed.
