Im buying my mac right now and it asked me if I wanted to make any upgrades. Would spending an extra 90$ dollars be worth it for a 7200rpm hard drive? And will it decrease battery time and make it hotter?

^ lmao! revolutions per minute,
the faster the HD, the more it will heat, but the faster it is the quicker your stuff loads. the newer macbook pros that have the 7200 rpm blow away the older models with 4500 and 5400 rpm. spend the money. itll be worth it. |
