Its a 12.5mm drive, so it won't fit in most laptops. At the moment, they'll use it for their Passport drives etc. I expect they'll release a 640Gb laptop drive soon though, now that they've gotten 330GB per platter (the 1TB drive is 3x330GB platters, hence why it is thicker than most 2.5" SATA drives). They'd need to get it up to 500GB per platter before you'll see 1TB in a standard laptop drive.
