Laptop HD's have not changed much through the years, the interface pretty much still remains the same and will be pretty much the same size at 9.5mm. The speed and size of course has changed little here and there. The easiest way to check though would be to let the pros do it for you... so here you go.

With very few exceptions, laptops all use hard-drives with the same physical size and one of a handful of system interfaces, because standardizing these aspects means that everyone can sell to everyone, and your particular model will not flop for no other reason than that noone buys the systems that it's designed to work with. The most important piece of information you'll need is the interface type, which should be something that you can obtain by checking the manufacturers website for system specs. Alternately, you could take it to a computer store and have them figure it out for you. Any drive that you buy should be labelled for either "laptop" or "notebook" use, but if it's not, just make sure that it's a 2.5" model (anything larger is probably for desktop computers).
As for capacity, I'd probably go with something at least twice what you've currently got, as you'll probably want to be able to transfer over all of your current files and still have plenty of room to expand. Right now, 80GB seem to be fairly standard, 100GB is a fairly open option, and even larger ones are available depending on the specific interface (I found one as high as 160GB, but only for Ultra ATA interfaces).

best buy will RIP you off.
You have 2 options.
1) Remove the HDD cover off from the back of the laptop and see the label on the HDD which has the size and speed info
2)Check the manufacturer's website and see the specs to determine what min/max size and speed they support.

be certain your difficult force is two.5" SATA 5400rpm, in simple terms to be certain you have the final time. What you could desire to do is back up each and all of the assistance on your ps3 with an exterior difficult force. in case you have no longer have been given one, then delete each and every little thing on your difficult force which you will positioned on there back (photographs, movies, songs, downloaded video games.) all you quite need to back up is your saved pastime information. as quickly as you back that up (you should use a flash force, sd card, something in simple terms approximately), u can get rid of your difficult force and insert the hot one
