Is a 4200 RPM processor too slow for everyday use?

Question

I can get a new hp laptop with 4GB RAM and a 200 GB hard drive with a 2.0GHz processor for around $850 it has everything i need, and seems will be really fast and work well for everyday use (surfing the web, chatting, just basic stuff, no gaming etc).

But it has a 4200 RPM hard drive. Is that too slow? Otherwise it has EVERYTHING, and a big processor, alot of RAM. Will it be slow at 4200 RPM??

Answer 1

it will be fine, dont panic, you wont even notice the difference between your speed, and the next fastest one.

Answer 2

you wont notice for everyday use you need the faster speeds when it comes to quick access like gaming or heavy graffic programs

Answer 3

That has to be a misprint. Hard drives start out at 5400 rpm.
