I am going to buy a new Powerbook 15.2/1.25G .
I would like to swap the stock 4200RPM drive for a 7200 RPM drive (9.5mm - ATA/100 I've been assured it will work in the laptop)
My concern is heat - I wonder if the increased speed of the hard drive is going to cause problems for the laptop - any ideas?
Also, I need tips on how to take the bottom off - I can get the drive swapped - but I remeber removing the bottom and replacining it is an issue
Or, shoudld I just spend the $100 and get a Apple Cert. tech to do it - and not void the warranty?
