I'm going w/ the 5400 rpm 80GB....here's a great article I found on the subject for those who are interested... http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cf...WT061801032003

I've already called Acer directly and asked them about this--it worried me too. The woman I talked with said that she was unaware of any discrepencies, but often reviewers get their models from the Acer Global headquearters (?), who can...

new review for you guys... http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1589891,00.asp

I called Acer, they said that the warrenty would NOT be voided if you change your own hd. Might be the best option.
