Not really. I only paid like 450$ for it in Korea. But still! I don't know why I never looked but apparently I've been using a 5400RPM HDD these last 3+ years. Just changed it today and saw it. Couldn't believe it.

All that slow gloggy garbage I've been dealing with is, thanksfully, over now.

..unless these guys lied on their label.... >.<

Hey, I'm Korean. Did you deal locally or in private? They can trick you bad. Anyways, I still use the 5400rpm drive without any problem. I switched to 7200rpm for a day, saw no difference, returned it, and saved my money to buy SSDs next time.
 
Only buy from authorized Apple retailers - never from 3rd party dealers like E-mart. Anyway, 5400RPM drivers are standard on laptops. You can put in a 7200RPM for a fee, but most people don't. I needed the extra storage over the slight increase in speed.

5400RPM drives are fast enough.

not even to browse the web good sir.

Well I guess I should've clarified that I knew he upgraded the HDD and told me 7200. :shrug:

I'm an American and the guy that I found on Craigslist (never found any Koreans using it =/) was I think Canadian. I never felt ripped off by any Koreans when I was there. More often I felt I was doing the ripping. I miss it there so much...
