Another question on hard drives for the laptops.
One Dell Inspiron with a 17" wide screen I am looking at comes with this:
Hard Drive
Size: 250GB3 SATA Hard Drive (5400RPM)

In the area where you can reconfigure your purchase you can substitute for a smaller SATA drive around 160 GB which is fine with me, and it ups the speed to 7200 RPM.
Is that a better choice for the laptop, or is the 5400 RPM speed OK for a laptop.

Will not be using this for gaming really, that is what my desktop is for.
