    SSD will increase boot performance drastically and opening applications and data, it WILL NOT speed up applications when running or improve video performance or anything like that

    Will increase battery life somewhat depending on you existing drive and laptop

    and NOT all Laptops can utilize full sata 2 disk speeds due to the chipset being throttled or bad firmware implimentation, 99% can but I am aware of 4 machines that keep the drive at 150 and not 300
