QUOTE(T600 @ Sep 29 2018, 04:36 PM) After doing a bit of searching, seems like it worth the money, it decreases the program loading time, my issues is it took way too long to load the program such as photoshop, chrome (25-30sec first launch), adobe premiere etc. And playing a high bitrate videos files seems impossible, you will find VLC bar trying to keep up and the video play faster than it could load, talking about huge 1080p at 45mbps, hope with an SSD I no longer have to deal with this shit. It definitely is, and you wouldn't wanna stick to HDD after that.Like what most of the techies out there would say, SSD is the holy grail in todays computing world.

I have a 6 years old Acer laptop with i2760 processor and 640m graphic card. Is it worth to repair and add ssd?
Condition of the laptop pretty bad >battery totally dead >very fast overheat then shutdown >can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. If by lan cable after overhead also dead >loading damn slow. This one probably can be overcome by replacing the old 1tb hdd with maybe 480gb ssd |

Probably have very clogged up heatsink vent. If you can't do it, sent it to someone to do it. SSD is cheap enough that is is an awesome upgrade. I saw Kingston A400 240GB is going for RM 161 at shoppee. I think i saw Lazada RM179. If dun want to commit more than RM100 can find 120GB for less than RM100. Really ridiculous prices.Condition of the laptop pretty bad >battery totally dead >very fast overheat then shutdown >can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore.

Lan and battery not a problem is u not moving. Condition of the laptop pretty bad >battery totally dead >very fast overheat then shutdown >can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore.
