Hi, I just ordered a laptop from hp with the following specs.
Intel T9300 (2.5ghz)
4gb ddr2 667 ram
256mb Geforce 8400M GS
250gb 5400rpm Sata hard drive
The only thing that concerns me is the hard drive (hp didn't have 7200rpm drives for normal sized laptops). I was thinking about replacing the hard drive (since I do like to do video editing) with a 7200rpm drive. If I did that, how would I ensure that it stays cool? Also, I've been hearing about the benefits of solid state drives. But when I checked newegg, they were really expensive and a LOT of people said that their ssd failed rather quickly. Should I wait like a year with the stock hard drive and then buy an ssd? What are you thoughts?
