Apparently you can still get 'em on 17" powerbooks.

My Intel Mac Mini desktop had a hard drive crash *during* yesterday's  
EFI update. Won't even show up to the O/S. Didn't lose too much but I  
got tired of maintaining a desktop and a laptop so I ordered a  
MacBook. OWC has 7200 rpm drives for 'em, so I want to see how hot it  
gets with the 5400 rpm drive and then I might upgrade.
