Will 7200rpm be significantly faster than a 5400rpm? If not, I ll get the cheaper one.

And all ProBooks will support 2/3 finger gestures in OS X right?

Yes, technically 7200rpm drive will be marginally better, but i would suggest saving and getting a SSD later.
Choice is yours!

I managed to get scrolling to work it works perfectly, but it's no where near to the real macbook. Also, I personally feel the trackpad isn't too big to accommodate 4 finger swipe and all those fancy gestures.
I'm planning to get a Apple Magic mouse, which should suffice my usage.

Thanks you guys, I ordered this now - http://www.snapdeal.com/product/hp-4440s-f0w24pa-laptop-3rd/28910334

It has Ralink WiFi card which is not supported. Thinking of buying this since it has free shipping to India - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Mini-Wir...US_Internal_Network_Cards&hash=item3a8e713f92

If you have any other suggestions about which WiFi card to get, please let me know. I live in India so it would be great to have free shipping!

Great! Good luck hacking mate. I noticed this machine only has 4gb RAM. RAM helps a lot Get MOAR!:D
 
Both 9280 and 9285 will work.
 
^ Please let me know about that and I'll go ahead and get my WiFi card.

Also, is there any WiFi whitelist for 4440s?
 
Keep in mind bluetooth is not very reliable in these cards . I would suggest a usb dongle bluetooth instead. You may have issues with magic mouse , i did .
 
So out of those 2 cards which I mentioned, which one shall I buy ?
