it's not stated, but i would assume it was assumed that portability was desired, as the computer in question is a sff system and has a handle on the top. also, is that 45lb listing really correct? that seems pretty heavy for that sized...

700m's still going strong, though i tend to use my m90 more due to it being better at multitasking and gaming and being more powerful in general. it's so much more convenient though for having in class and carrying around. i'd have...

which laptop do you have? on something like the xps m1210, it will stick out, but on something like the e1505, it is the same size, i believe. also, it will weigh a bit more, but not all that much more, at least i don't think it...

i don't find them to be a waste of space, at least until after i install my games... i have a drive caddy thing for my m90 so i sometimes swap out my optical drive with a hard drive (with the ISO's so i can play my games). it's not...

at the moment, it seems like most of the newer drives (like say the 160gb 7200rpm seagate or the 250gb 5400rpm WD drives) are hard to get a hold of other than getting it as part of a system that you buy, at least from my searching. are...

i agree with sakor that most are 9.5mm. some that aren't include some of the older drives (they'll be smaller capacities like <40gb, though in afterthought, most are not sata anyway) and some of the older big drives (i think one of...

most of the stuff you mention is pretty standard on most laptops. some things though are that the "niceness" of the keyboard is really subjective. weight will really depend on the size of the system (though paying more can...
