If your laptop only takes a 2 1/2 inch drive I don't think you will get it in there.

CNET showed it to be 2.5 inches.

For speed, a hybrid drive might be best. The Seagate Momentus XT comes in a 750GB size:

If you want 1TB, it looks like you're stuck with 5400rpm for now.

I did see Seagate's on their site which I think I may go for. The only one I was able to buy though was the 500 GB one though, and I currently have 640 GB (5400 rpm).
