Gang,
I'm really honing in on the Toshiba Satellite A75 as my road editing solution. Beautiful laptop, great roomy screen, still portable, great keyboard ... I just like it. Problem is ... it only comes with 4200 RPM hard drives. Period. I just called the Toshiba guy and he said there's no way to get an A75 with a faster drive (short of jamming in an aftermarket hard drive and voiding the warranty).
My question: if I'm using fast external firewire drives for capture/editing, can I get by with a 4200 RPM system drive? Am I crazy to even consider it?
Thanks,
Scott
