I've just received an offer from Apple in HK for a harddrive upgrade for my 12' Rev A Powerbook (40Gb drive)
For HK$2000 (approx US$256) to have my harddrive upgraded to a 80Gb 5,400 rpm. The upgrade will be performed by Apple technicians and will be covered by my Apple Care plan
My questions on are the following issues:
1) Will there be much difference in speed compared to my current 40Gb?? Will I notice the extra rpms?? Will the extra capacity and buffer help speed things up overall (I'm currently using half my drive)??
2) Also will the new 80Gb drive generate any more heat than the 40Gb?? The Rev A's are already hot enough as they are.
3) And one last thing will the 80Gb draw more power from the battery and reduce the battery life??
Cheers
