Greetings, all.
I'm in the middle of the process of purchasing a new laptop, and I have a question (clarification, really) for you. I'm currently considering the Dell Inspiron 14R, kitted out with an i5 processor etc.
To save a bit of money, I'm looking at purchasing the laptop with a small HDD and a small amount of RAM, then purchasing upgrades from elsewhere (the price difference turns out to be as much as $40 for me, surprisingly). The 14R comes with a 5400RPM HDD, and this is my question: Can I put a 7200RPM HDD into the Dell Inspiron 14R? I know the 7200RPM HDD will draw more power from the computer (shortening the battery life, of course, but I don't really care about that much), and is the Inspiron 14R capable of providing this extra power?
Thanks go in advance for any responses.
