5400 RPM and 7200 RPM

Just out of curiosity...... I know that 7200RPM is much better than the 5400RPM speed for HDD, but does it actually make a significant difference when gaming?

5400 RPM is better for laptops? Is it due to noise?mikesoo

What screen size is the laptop? Are you getting the standard battery?

If it's 17in or lower and you're getting the standard battery, I'd go 5400rpm because

-smaller laptop means higher heat (I think) and you could cut it down with the 5400

-standard battery would last longer with the 5400

-not worth 139$ extra

That's all imo and based on speculation.
