7200 RPM drives usually stay pretty cool, but they will produce more heat from the added friction. I could imagine it running marginally hotter in a laptop than in a ventilated case.

I'd be worrying about the hard drive cooking itself from the extra heat and no ventilation, but there are laptops that come with 7200 RPM drives out there.
