Most laptop drives are 4,200 RPM and smaller than desktop drives.
You can check out a selection here:

I've just recieved an order from googlegear with no problems, except for the shipping, which happened because the normal UPS driver was on vacation. There's a UPS promotion going on right now, and shipping is free to the 48 contiguous states. We have to pay $10 in Hawaii, but that's still pretty cheap.
Anyway, their prices are usually among the lowest online, considering reputable dealers.
